Welcome to our website!

Thanks for stopping by. With all that's changing in our family, we thought it would be a good idea to create a website where friends and family can keep in touch and share in our latest family moments. We will be updating with news of the day (not every day!), milestones worth noting, pictures, slideshows, and anything else we can think of sharing this way.

Talk to you soon!

Yosemite 2011!

 
Yes...it was off to Yosemite again for our annual week of tent camping and relaxation int eh beautiful Yosemite Valley. This time we took some friend along to share in the fun and excitement. Melissa, David, and Lila came along and we had a great time splashing in the river, sipping cocktails at the Awahnee, and touring the valley floor on bikes. I, of course, took way to many pictures as usual...so here are the highlights...

Hey Bix...wanna go for a hike?

The Shlunden crew
 

A hike to Yosemite Falls...goofballs and all!

 

Bix fell asleep a lot during our hikes.
 

Biking it to the Awahnee

Fun on he Awahnee lawn...the kiddos spent a lot of time here running off their extra energy.

Cloud gazing...

...rolling around...

...and flying on knees.

A hike to Mirror Lake....Bix insisted on the stroller since Lila was in hers.
 

Just down stream from the main attraction - shallow enough for kiddo splashing.

"hello Melissa?"...meaning....look at me, not at the camera!

Future Baywatch beauty practicing her emergence from the water.

 Two cuties in the sand
 

Dads and kids, relaxing by the shore

Exploring with Daddy
Fun with the stroller...this kept them occupied for a good while!

Bix caught on pretty quickly by observing others...when you stand in teh bus, you hold on to the grab bar. We are off to the Awahnee again.

 On the lawn....

 

 Off on a hike to Vernal Falls

 Bix was not too happy to be confined to a backpack...

...but we made it up eventually....of course Bix fell asleep and missed the view.


 We headed down the mule trail through the trees.



 Brain took his annual dip in the Merced...yup...still cold! Bix had no issue following him in though...I guess there are two polar bear swimmers in the family.
 

 David hiding behind a tree...peek-a-boo!

 Cuties in a field
 

 Bix asleep in the tent cabin....this was the first and most restful night. The last night we ended up in the bus for fear of waking up the entirety of Curry Village....but he looks so peaceful here??

Outside numero ocho..the Gleason cabin

Bye-Bye until next year!
