Family and Friends Montage

Hola! I've been traveling quite a bit lately and thought I'd share some pics with you all (not y'all - apparently we'll be moving if I start saying that word). Also, since this is a montage, I'll let you add the stylish music in the background while you read it. Sorry though, no buxom babes bounding in slow motion on the beach in this montage.

Auntie Jen and I had a great time running from the swarms of bees at the Memphis Zoo.

I got to hike the Flat Irons in Boulder with Dad and Carter. Whew, sitting in a backpack at high altitude just about wore me out!

Had a wonderful lunch with Miss Chari. That reminds me, I need to return the necklace I so deftly removed from her during our frolicking.

Though I'll never be a younger brother, I got to look up (waaay up in Cole's case) to Cole Morgan. He towed me all around, shared his toys with me, and taught me all about Thomas the Train and his seemingly infinite number of "sold separately" friends.

I got to hang with Teagan and Tanner Steinmetz in Denver (sorry no pic of Tanner this time). They were a blast, although in this particular instance, she is about to eat what I thought I had clearly claimed as my bagel and I'm getting ready to give her the "what for".

Here I am in Haubstadt, Indiana with Tierney and Dawson Mauer. Dawson and I had a great time playing, "mine, no mine, no mine" and Tierney was quite the gracious hostess, just like her parents.

Then it was off to hang with most of the Almlie clan in Terre Haute, IN. I got to watch my cousin, Kevin, who plays for Western Illinois, play against IN St. "We" won of course and I was so excited, I threw my legs in the air. Hey, I'm still trying to get this whole cheering thing down.

Whew. After all that I was so tired I fell asleep sitting up. I sure had a great time and hopefully I'll be coming to a city near you soon! Hasta. E
