Magformer Rocket

Magformers are, by far, one of Silas' favourite toys.

Here he made a rocket.

And a fancy... wheel... thing!

And there is always the fun of destroying.

Statue of Liberty

Silas is building a 3D puzzle of the Statue of Liberty.

This ended up taking quite some time...

 We have a Statue of Liberty carrying a Statue of Liberty!

Eden's Birthday

For Eden's Birthday, we let Silas have a gift to remember his sister.

He likes this tradition!

Silas and Levi Playing

Find two boys.

One trampoline.

Two huge boxing gloves.

And a sunny Colorado day.

And you can't help but have fun.

Silas and Levi Hanging Out

A few photos of Silas and Levi hanging out.

Photo Shoot

We went to get some professional photos made (post later)

While the photographer was out of the room, Angela snapped these

Tree House

Silas and Levi are in Levi's tree house.

It might be difficult to see them.

Fortunately they are wearing fluro colours!

Here is a better angle.

At Pera's with Claudia

Silas was finally able to meet my great friend and old boss, Claudia Perea.

I don't think Silas could appreciate how this made her smile.

Red Robin

There are very few places Silas can eat due to his allergies.

In the US, he was able to eat at Red Robin, a burger place.

Mac-n-cheese

Tower of Onion Rings!

These were Silas' first.

Ornament Exchange in JUNE!

After we made it up to Colorado, our friends decided

to honour one of Tina's favourate Christmas traditions, an Ornament Exchange.

It was a lot of fun, even if out of season.

Trip To New Mexico

On this trip, we visited Colorado, New Mexico and Texas.

Here are a few photos of our trip to New Mexico.

The "Land of Enchantment"

The New Mexico flag.

Storm over the Sandia mountains.

Some beautiful rock formations.

And beautiful people live there... like Dean and Blake!

We had a pretty good time on the road.

Mission Trail

While in El Paso, we had to take the Mission Trail.

Lots of education opportunities.

Cattleman's Steak House

For Oma's birthday, she wanted to go to the Cattleman's Steak House.

It is a long drive from El Paso, but the food is wonderful.

Out in the back they have their own zoo!

From rabbits to dear, they had quite a collection of animals.

Too bad the snakes were hibernating!

They also had lots of historic equipment that used to be used on the ranch.

Perhaps he was cold?
