Back from Vacation


     I was just on vacation with my wife's family in Idaho/Montana/Wyoming (Yellowstone, etc).  Upon reflection of the trip I have to admit (and I hope this doesn't hurt anyones feelings) what I enjoyed most was the constant company of my little boy Connor and relaxing with my lovely wife!

     I spent a week getting to follow/chase my little 1.5yr old around nature!  He and I saw new bugs he has not ever seen before, we found new stuff to jump from and climb, and he reminded me that just about anything can be wildly entertaining!  We through rocks into the creek and at nothing, we found flowers and plants, we were covered in dirt, and basically had an awesome time being boys... I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the company of all the other people there, I'm just so glad I had so much time to spend with my Connor.  And to you stay at home parents, although you have the most difficult job, you should count yourselves lucky to spend so much time with your kids, they are a gift!

     Also, another treat was seeing Heather playing with Connor!  Usually, by the time I get home from work all of us are tired and cranky, and Sat/Sun are usually packed with activities so having time to play while we're all rested with no agenda... priceless!

     Oh, and sorry to my family, I did not think of taking many pictures, we were mostly just playing.
