We spent a day off doing some rock climbing with our friends Jeremy and Kelly Fowler. We have been so blessed by their friendship and love spending time with them.
The "Jeremy's" are such amazing climbers - they taught us girls a lot!
Yeah Kelly!
We climbed on these great cliffs near Golden - you can see the city of Denver in the distance.
Thank God for great friends and fun in His beautiful creation!
Jeremy's friend and roomate Kevin from boarding school in Kenya came to visit from British Columbia, and they spent Memorial Day weekend backpacking with our friends Matt Lake and Josh Temple in the Mount Evans Wilderness Area.
They took all the things boy's need to have a good time: a compass,
a water filter,
flint(yes they really used flint!),
guns,
and dogs, but left their fear of heights (and their wives) at home:)
If you look on the cliff below Jeremy here, you can see the mountain goat they hung out with (but don't worry, thats not what they were shooting at!)
By the tree in this picture is a newborn Elk! We learned that baby elk have no smell until they are a few weeks old, which is why Butch has no clue it's there!
Jeremy went on a weekend trip to Moab, Utah to do some mountain biking with our friend Bun Tadlock. "Slick rock" is supposed to be one of the best trails in the world and Moab has beautiful scenery.
This is the famous "delicate arch."
Charissa's younger brother graduated on May 10th from Liberty, so we traveled out there with the Lewis fam to celebrate. It was a beautiful day and the ceremony was really nice. Chuck Norris gave the commencement address- he shared about how he came to know Christ and how that has changed his life.
Toby's degree is in Aviation and he's on his way to being a Marine pilot.
His diploma ceremony was in the hangar at the airport. It was cool to see the planes that he had learned to fly. Congrats Toby! We're so proud of you!!
