Here we are in Wolf Creek Pass in Colorado. We went to see the family and to help celebrate my Dad and Stepmom's 60th birthdays. We had a nice relaxing time. I can't thank my mom and Mike enough for letting us stay in the camper. Dad and Kath, thanks for all the good laughs and thanks to the sibs for the good times, good food, and fond memories. I happen to think the desert landscape is quite beautiful and so I will try and post some pictures soon. On the way back home, we took I-70 from Utah to Denver and I tell you, that is one of the most beautiful drives I have ever been on. The RV lifestyle is definitely having more appeal.
One day, Josh and I took the monkeys and my niece and nephew to the pool (some would also call them monkeys). You wouldn't believe the stares we got---people thinking we were insane to have 4 kids that close together.
Speaking of pools, it appears that Speedos are still in high demand.....not kidding. I would have to say that Josh and my brother were the 0.01% of the male population in normal swimming trunks. There is a lot of summer travel coming up from the Grand Canyon.
While driving, I got to catchup on my reading. I read about this new website:
http://3trillion.org/
It gives you the opportunity to "purchase" whatever you want/can in an attempt to purchase 3 Trillion dollars worth of things (end reliance on foreign oil, worldwide vaccinations, universal healthcare). It is being used as a tool to show how expensive the war is and how much better use that money could be going to.
More pics and vids to come.

Wow, Becks--I watched all 7 vids of that speech--what an incredible mind she has. The fact that it's possible to follow her reasoning and understand the big picture shows me that we're fed red herrings all the time. It's all so interconnected!
We need to look at the WHOLE issue of our energy needs--not just the tiny corner we're fed by news sources as "todays' problem", ya know? Man! Excellent speech.
Thanks!
(BTW, glad you had a good time :) lol)
