We owed our friends a better boat trip. They came with us last New Year’s Day on a harrowing adventure in 20+ knot winds and short, choppy 3-4 foot seas to retrieve our forlorn crab pots which, according to law, needed to be out of the water. In retrospect, I think WDFW would have given [...]

Boulder Visit
July 20th, 2010 · 1 Comment
We had two days to kill after the Raser family reunion before heading home. We debated whether to extend the family visit by going to Colorado City as we did six years ago, or do something else. I told Molly that I really wanted to see Boulder. She quickly acquiesced and said that Camille and Daniel’s [...]

We are at the 2010 Raser family reunion at Golden Bell Camp and Conference Center, just out of Divide, CO. Here are a few snaps from the last few day’s photos. All are descendants of Rudy and Myra Raser, or those of us who chose to marry in.

Nico races a crit
July 12th, 2010 · No Comments
We have a fabulous little nephew. Nico takes after his parents, racing in a local criterium. For the kids, it’s just one lap. But Nico, wearing cowboy boots, takes the cake for me. He does a great job. Check it out.

Riding Horses with Nico
July 11th, 2010 · No Comments
Yesterday, we rode horses with Nico and his folks. As we were on top of the butte with spectacular views, thunderstorms rolled in. We were hit with a microburst that blew 20 kts+. The kids were troopers and braved forward.

Day Trip to Yellowstone
July 10th, 2010 · No Comments
Robin treated us to a day trip up to Yellowstone from Jackson. We saw lots of thermal features, including geysers, fumeroles, hot springs, and a few mud pots. Old Geyser spouted off for us. On the way home, we saw a cinnamon colored brown bear, a collared cougar, many bison, lots of elk, and some [...]
