Hiwan Heritage Park

We went to visit this old historic house in Evergreen, Colorado.

Silas liked the costumes.

It was amazing to see how people lived back then.

It was a difficult time.

Silas loved the buffalo rug.

Old fashioned knocker.

I don't think this horse was original, but it was fun.

Wildlife

Silas is enjoying the mountain streams and wildlife.

Green Chili Breakfast Burrito

Green Chili Breakfast Burrito in the Mountains.

Yum Yum.

Thanks Uncle Rob for being such a great host.

Beau Jo's Pizza

Eating at Beau Jo's Pizza in Evergreen Colorado!!!

There was a nice man making incredible balloon animals.

Mmmmm.  Mountain Pizza Pie.

Silas seems happy.

Certainly Uncle Rob and I are ready to eat.

This is the best part.  Honey on the crust!

Moose Antler

Ant Uncle Rob's house, Silas discovers a moose antler.

Rental Car Bus

Here is a surprising video showing Silas in a great mood

after 18+ hours on an airplane.

Here we are on a bus going to get a rental car.

Cockpit

On our U.S. trip, Silas had several visits to the aeroplane cockpit!

Here is a video of one.

Travel to the U.S.

Here is the start of our long trip to the U.S. to

celebrate Grandmother Graves and Oma Moore's birthdays.

There is our airplane.

Silas gets a tour of the cockpit (video later).

Ready for take-off.

High above the Pacific Ocean.

What a long flight!

In Denver.

Train

Silas is not only good with Magformers, he is excellent at building trains!

Sick

It is so sad when Silas gets sick.

We work hard to help, but sometimes feel helpless.

Poor guy!!!

Hurt Finger

Silas had a fall while "trolley surfing" at Bunnings.

I hope he doesn't do that again!

The nail is about to fall off.

Ouch.  Here is a video showing him being brave

before we took off the loose nail.

Much better.  Now let more healing begin.

God made our bodies pretty incredible, even in our fallen state.

Rope Pyramid

Silas and I went for a bike ride and ended up at a local park.

A bit of a climb to the top of the rope pyramid so we could take a photo.

Digger

This is one of Silas' favourite toys.

His hands were hurting, so I had him put his socks on his hands.
I wonder what the other parents were thinking!?!?

Mother's Day

Mum gets a small gift on Mother's day.

She certainly deserves so much more for all she does!

High Score in Pinball

Amazing.  3.8 Billion is a good score on this game!

Taekwando - Yellow Belt Tri-Tip

Here is Silas receiving his award.

The bow.

The certificate.

One more bow.

Triple tip.  Next step red-belt.

Rollerblades

Silas' first try on roller blades.

Dad's attempt to stop him from breaking his neck!

Flying Fox

One of the parks near the house has a fun Flying-Fox ride.

Here's Silas learning to use it.

Lincoln Log Destruction

It seems Silas continues to be good at building and GREAT at demolition!

Magformer Farm

This was a big effort.

It is a farm made from Magformers.

I'll let Silas explain.

Vacuuming at Camp

Silas loves this back-pack vacuum they have at camp.

He always volunteers to do the work.

Bowling

Silas is starting to get pretty good at bowling.

Here is a longer video showing his spare and mum's great strike ball.

Cutting Dad's Hair

Dad is pretty brave!

Seesaw

I love taking Silas to the playground.

Here is a short video of him on a seesaw.

And on a swing.

Mowing

Silas is becoming more and more helpful around the house.

Here he is ready to mow the lawn.

At first, I wasn't sure he was going to do a good job.

But in the end, it looked great!

Lincoln Logs

Nothing like an old toy like Lincoln Logs.

Silas is pretty good at building, but he is

an expert in demolition.

It seems to take more time to destroy than to build!

Blind Art

Silas learning about Picasso.

Who needs to see?

Quiet... artist at work.

Perfect.

That will be $20,000 please!
