A post with pictures

Two posts in one day -- I'm getting wild and out of control! But I know a couple people (hi Dorothy & Erin!) may be getting a little impatient waiting for some new pictures, so this is for you.

B is camping with my parents right now. We took him up into the mountains to meet them yesterday, and we all stayed for dinner. He comes home tomorrow evening. Here are a couple pictures from yesterday, but the best ones are on my mom's camera (ours sucks) and they're not going to be home for two more weeks. You'll have to wait for the good ones. In the meantime:





And a couple pictures from what was probably the last backyard pool day of the year (actually taken a couple weeks ago). Somebody apparently flipped the "fall" switch, b/c it went from hot hot summer to chilly wet fall pretty much overnight, and really hasn't gone back. Odd for Colorado, but it's nice. We like the rain. By "we," I mean my tomatoes and me.





As you can see, Z has no problem with her appetite:



Last but not least, this was the AM crop of tomatoes I picked on Saturday. There was an afternoon harvest of about the same size. Holy tomato, batman. How many of these things can one family eat??? Some are grape tomatoes (mmmm, candy) and some are romas. No celebrities in this batch.

Camping trip

Bee & his daddy went on a quick overnight camping trip last Friday. M's friend & his five year-old son went along. I missed out on that trip -- I was in New York on business. You don't want to hear any more about my trip -- it was from hell. But here are some camping pictures:


Bears!


I guess it started raining while they were cooking dinner & pretty much didn't stop all night long. Watching a movie on the laptop is apparently what you do nowadays when it rains on a camping trip. That was not an option back when I was a kid...


"Daddy, watch me!" I wasn't even there, and I can guarantee you this is what he was saying as this picture was taken. Climbing rocks is one of the Bee's favorite things to do in the whole wide world, and is the main reason he likes to camp.


The perfect photographic expression of the Bee's normal state of being:
