Mountain Climbing

Colby completed his first high altitude, alpine assault today by conquering 1680' foot Bald Mtn. in West Sumner, Maine.

The summit was achieved without the use of Sherpas or bottled oxygen. The day was clear, comfortable and the summit offered excellent views. Also in the Summit party were Daddy, Uncle Rogie and Robin. Lots of wildlife were spotted on the expedition including an owl by Colby on the way to the trailhead, a bear and cub near the summit by Roger, a deer on the way home and a bald eagle at Camp while we were rinsing off the day in the lake.

T-ball

Colby has finished up his t-ball programs for the year. The parents were invited to watch today. They got trophies, had a game and hit water balloons off of the tee (somehow, I think that this will happen at Camp this summer). Next up, Pre-school graduation tomorrow night and a summer golf program.

Skating

Not much snow lately, so we have been skating.

Lookout Lance!

Colby has really been enjoying the warm weather and getting out on his bike. He has done enough laps around the island in the parking lot that it could be called the Bayview Terrace 500.

Snow In Portland

We got 16" of snow in Portland last weekend and have been having some fun.

Sledding in Payson Park. Sorry about the video. I shot in portrait and should have shot in landscape. You'll get the idea.

The Holidays

Colby with Santa at School


Backyard creations.

Smacking the skins with Great Grandma T. Be sure to play the video to hear them in all their glory and hear Great Grandpa T laughing in the background. Thanks to Aunt Anna for the set.
