Crazy, Flamin' Birthday!



This imageDisplay.jsp.jpgiswhat FourmileCanyon looked like around mid-morning on Reid's birthday! Humidity has dropped to around 5% and we're having a very windy day. This one looks like it could be pretty big- there are reliable reports of several homes lost already. We were enjoying a beautiful morning and the coller weather this wind is bringing in when Kate arrived back from her hike and pointed out the apocalyptic looking plume of smoke building behind Mt. Sanitas. Evacuations are widespread and the sky is a hazy orange or bluebird blue depending on w

hich way the wind is shifting.


We had a great little backpack trip down the Ceran St. Vrain Canyon on Sat. night- caught some trout and frie

d them and enjoyed some guy time.

Reid's wish for h

is birthday festivities was

to go on a bike ride with some of his buds and have a barbeque afterwards. Right now, we're waiting for the pulled pork to finish slow cooking and the big 11 year-old middle schooler is goofing aro

und on the trampoline

with his pals. He's h

aving a good transition to Casey, bu

t he's getting killed with homework, especial

ly Spanish because h

e's doing t

he bilingual program. Time to work on those time

management

and study skills! On

the posit

ive side, his new school is beautiful and he's making

new friends and getting involved with the bike club. I'm really sorry for the layout of this post, but blogger is driving me nuts! Hope you can read it!


Love, Rico
