Mountain view

Playing with Daddy

We went for a short drive out of the city to one of the surrounding hills. It was wonderful to be away from all the buildings and enjoy nature for a while. The kids enjoyed picking flowers and running around.

This was a huge vulture we saw flying over the mountains.

Turtle rock trip

We went for a picnic at Turtle Rock (a big tourist attraction outside of the city) with our team mates. It was a fun and refreshing time out in nature!

Our little mountain climbers. Ayrik was a natural at it and was very daring. Yikes! Aiden was much more cautious and did well too.

Aiden, his friend Micah, Ayrik and Calvary at Turtle Rock. It actually looks like a turtle from the other side.

Scorpion munchies

We recently had a vacation in China with my brother and sister-in-law. While there, Ben and Mike tried scorpion on a stick!

Ben gives one a little kiss before eating it.

Mmm...tastes like bacon!

Eww...gross! (Ayrik wanted to try it but Aiden would have preferred the starfish on a stick)

Yummy!

Aiden, Ayrik and friend Micah had a mud fight! It was finally warm enough to play in the water!


Nothing like mud!

Aiden loves to play outside!

Ayrik loves it too but did not want his picture taken!

Totally oblivious.

Aiden turned six this past May! He had a wonderful time eating his pirate ship and making his friends walk the plank!
