Carter's First Ski Trip

A little behind in posting about this trip Carter and Thomas took back in February...

Granny B's Visit

Granny B came to meet John in mid-September. Her visit coincided with Carter's fall break, so she spent a lot of time with both boys.  (Our school district has fall, winter, thanksgiving, holiday and spring breaks - 1 week each, except the holiday break, which is 2.5 weeks.) Some pictures of our adventures below.

In less than 2 weeks, Granny B will be meeting up with John and me again in Las Vegas! (where I have a conference)

We took the train downtown

We tried a lot of sodas at World of Coke

And then we hit the aquarium

Baby tigers at the zoo!

Bronwyn's friend Polly is a docent at the zoo...

and she gave us a terrific tour!

We had dinner with the other Fowlkes

Granny B and John got some time together, too!

Jingle Jog 2009

Thomas ran his second Jingle Jog 5K last weekend. This year, Carter joined him for the Elf Run (a terribly organized 50 yard dash for young kids to run with their grown ups).

Bronwyn was there to run it with Carter.

It was the coldest day of the year so far, which Carter did NOT enjoy.

But, apparently, it wasn't too cold for ice cream...

Family Dinner

Brinkley had a great idea to get all the local family together since Bronwyn is in town. We had a great time at dinner Friday night!

Carter made fast friends with cousin Jep!

More Tahoe Pics

This is the last batch of photos from Tahoe... I think.

It was great (though strange - in a good way) to have family and friends all gathered in the same place.

Carter got to spend time with Grandad Ron,

Uncle Park

Crazy Uncle Mike, Aunt Ashley,
and Grandma Bronwyn!
