Day One: Frontier Days and Concerts Our Estes Park adventure started with a stop in Cheyenne for Frontier Days. Terri and Andy had purchased tickets for the girls to see Journey. Journey is one of Terri’s favorite bands. Emersyn knows some of their songs because our 80’s music is used for the wii […]

My friend, Shelly, says “Fort Robinson is the best kept secret in Nebraska”. She is right. In the past, we have taken 45 minute horse ride trails for $15. The girls love it, but we didn’t make time for it this year. We went to Fort Robins twice to see the musicals at the […]

Photos with Grandpa’s truck is a must every summer. We were running out of time since Emersyn and I were leaving a week early for her surgery. Eleri’s reaction to Emersyn’s “driving”! Soon Emersyn will be old enough to drive the truck around […]

Grandpa had a bag full of sparklers, smoke bombs and snakes for the girls when we arrived in Nebraska. He still lets them “play with fire” by using the blow torch. The “peanut gallery” watching the fireworks fun. Clean up crew – Grandpa! […]

With no improvement in Emersyn’s bone cyst in the past year, her doctor wanted to squeezed in two procedure before we went back to Shanghai. He was able to squeeze one in before we left for Chicago. It is hard to work with in our summer schedule! On the morning of her surgery […]

We arrived back to the Bay Area to unload the car from our adventure at Tahoe. The girls had some poppers Aunt Terri bought at Target on the way up to Tahoe. They went out front to throw their poppers on the ground. No fireworks as they are illegal in the State of California. […]

After our extended family dinner last night, we hadn’t packed a thing for Tahoe. Time was spent cleaning the house (always a big one when you are not living there). When Emersyn finally arrived in California, one of the top priority was a follow up on her bone cyst. Jim took her to see […] |
