Camping with My Boy Shoes On...

Ming Mei is pretty proud of the 'boy shoes' that Grandma bought her. I think camping is the perfect place to wear them.

A coupla campground chicks cooling off their piggies in the stream.

Hanging out with Cousin Holden.

Mesmerized by the morning fire.

Happy Birthday Aunt Cindy!

Today is the big day for Cindy, but we acutally celebrated early this past week on the back patio at Grandma's house. Ming Mei love's hanging out with Aunt Cindy and the two together always leads to some'wildness.' We just can't figure out which one starts it by making the other one wild. :-) Happy B-Day, Sis.

Is There Any Wonder Why I Am So Smitten?

Good Times In Glacier National Park

Christmas in August? Mrs. Szym likes this photo, so it will probably make it on our Christmas card this year.

The boys and Ming Mei hanging on a Red Jammer (the tour busses used in Glacier). The big guy between Titus and Levi is our buddy Brad Demmert, Nate's roommate and friend of the Szym family since the mid 90s.

No meaningful trip to the wilderness is complete without a rock throwing competition.

And a hike just isn't a hike without a lunch break.

Bear Sightings!

Nate and Ming cozied up to this grizzly bear in the Lodge at McDonald Lake in Glacier Park.

And some cute little black bear wandered into the gift shop...

Water Babes

Ming Mei loves the water.

Mama loves the sun.

Daddio loves Ming Mei and Mama.

Big Nate Turns Two Two!

22 Candles calls for a big huff-n-puff.

Now that's what I'm talking about - a kiss for the birthday boy!

Not So Secret Pleasures

Big strawberries and Dora bouncy balls!
