Fish on by Brad
Finally, for the first time this year I dusted off the fly gear and headed out fish with cousin Ricky. We hoped in his truck and headed off to Pine near Deckers south of Hwy 285 about 30 mintues from Denver. We decided to fish the North Fork of the South Platte River. The only public water between the town of Pine and Hwy 285 is a 2 mile streach of great water in Pine Valley Ranch Park (a JeffCo Park). http://www.co.jefferson.co.us/openspace/openspace_T56_R17.htm
When we got there the skies looked like they were about to open up and a few times we did get spit on. The main picnic areas around the park entrance were packed with a wedding reception and birthday party. We opted to head west up the canyon to get away from the spinning crowds. About a 1/4 mile out we were alone and had the entire river to ourselves. We tied up some San Juan Red Worms and various egg patterns and got to it.
All in all it was a fun trip. Forgot the camera but no big deal, we both got skunked. No surprise given the really high water levels and cool temps.
This week we are going to try Bear Creek between Morrison and Idledale. If it hits half as well as last year, it should be great.

A Surprise from Grandma by Melissa
6.17.06
Ben got a box in the mail today from Grandma Susie on the farm! He loved everything...the big boy panties - oops, I mean underwear, chocolate candy which Mommy and Daddy had to try too, and a cool fan that Ben doesn't even realize is candy yet (I am saving that part for tomorrow). Kylie enjoyed the bubble wrap too!
Thank You Grandma!!!

"I Did It!!" by Melissa
6.16.07
We told Ben that he could go outside after dinner. Brad and I were still at the table when he hopped down and said 'I am going to get my Diego sandals.' About a minute later, he shouted 'I DID IT!' That was the first time he put on his own shoes. He even put them on the correct feet. It was such a proud moment, I took photos...I know, I am a dork.

Potty Talk by Melissa
6.14.07
Could it be? Today, Ben told me 3 times that he had to go potty BEFORE he went in his diaper...and we made it to the potty in time. Hmmm. Maybe he is getting the hang of this!!!

Day at the Park by Melissa

Last Saturday, we had a picnic at a local park. This park has a playground, man-made creek (but the water was too cold to swim), choo choo train and a petting zoo!
