The Great Platte River Road Archway Museum, Kearney, NE

It goes over the freeway! Tons of fun and interesting pioneer and US history!

Mackinac Island, MI, Take Two

You can't tell that Noah busted his head open on the night stand and got 7 staples the day before! We enjoyed our seven hour bike ride on the island.

The ferry was a ton of fun, too!

Mackinac Island, MI

This is the bike path around Mackinac Island, MI. We biked half way around the island and then took the road that goes right through the middle. It was a nice little climb. We stopped to check out St. Ann's Cemetery for a while and read about 20 inscriptions on the stones, then headed back to town. We saw the Grand Hotel, but Noah just wanted to ride, ride, ride, so we did..for SEVEN hours!!!

Mackinac Island Bridge, MI

Tim Samaras from Storm Chasers

Tim was so nice to do a presentation for our homeschool group today! We found out that, in addition to chasing tornadoes, Tim is really into lightning. We learned a lot about both today.

Noah's 6th Birthday Party

Yep! I'm 6!!!

Noah came up with the design and our cake guy did a great job on it!

Customary birthday fireworks.

A crazy bunch of friends!

Riverside Cemetery, Denver, CO

Denver's longest continually operating cemetery. There are some very interesting pioneers buried there. Check out their website for some super-cool information!

The Crematory. The kids had lots of questions here and Noah asked to see inside. (Gasp!)

We get some amazing rainbows around here!

Kayli's Birthday Party

Noah was the only dude there but he didn't care! A party's a party as far as he's concerned!!

Tubing, Belleview Park, Englewood, CO

Some lady sold us these tubes as she and her kids were leaving. It was totally random but convenient and fun! We hoped not to get "cooties" when we had to blow them up again. All the kids asked, "What are cooties?" You learn something new every day! :o)

Stickworks

The park near Coors Amphitheater has a some cool artwork. Stickworks and another art project using recycled materials.

Swimming Lesson

He looks pretty happy in these pictures but he ended up being too cold to finish. Colorado is just a little too cold for a morning swimming lesson.

Noah lost his first tooth today!

The "tooth fairy" brought him a lollipop and a dollar.
