Here's one for the archives: 2001

We took our first vacation without the kids for our 10 year anniversary. Actually, it was the first time ever away from the kids. We had a blast and enjoy it immensely! We met 2 great couples on the cruise. My mom graciously watched the kids for us that week. I do have to admit, it was great to get away, but even better to get back to the kids. 

How about this kodak flashback moment?
This is one of my all time favorite pictures of the kids. I can't believe how fast they grow up! This is Fall of 1999. Are these my kids? I swear they look so much alike, but not like me!! They look like Scott! 

Well, Santa made it!!! The kids should be very surprised. Looks like they have been good this year. Santa had some helpers this Christmas. Grandma and Grandpa Dorr were here for a visit. Now, what time will they wake us up? Early I'm sure. 

And so it begins...............kids gone wild! Christmas morning 2005. 

Christmas morning.  

I was able to get the gang showered and dressed just long enough to take this picture. As soon as it was taken the clothes were off and back to the christmas loot. They clean up pretty well!

What a Motely Crew!!! The Growlers and Martinies were goin down just fine. We had a blast when Mike and Kirsty came to stay with us over Thanksgiving. The guys kick are butts in Euker. That's okay, we'll get them back this summer at Put-In-Bay! Yes, we are doing our annual week-end at The Bay this summer in July. For those of you who don't know, we have posted our pictures from last years week-end at the Bay. They are posted in the archives of our blog. It just doesn't get any better than this!

 

These are the Gymnastic Portraits for the 2005 and 2006 season. What little cuties!!

 

Mitchell had to do this Ecocolum project. This Ecocolum you can design bottle habitats for animals and plants. We had to collect 7 2-liter bottles and cut the the tops and bottoms off. Then he was given a fish and we created in the bottom chamber a place for the fish to live. The next chamber was to create food and oxygen for the fish with a plant. The plants roots were in the water for the fish to eat. Then above the plant, we placed a banana peel to decompose and hatch fruit flies. The final chamber was a venus-fly trap plant to eat the fruit flies. This creating a whole ecosystem of life. This was a lot of fun and a great project to do at home with him.

Some more fantastic Killington scenery! 

Some of the beautiful scenery at the top! - I'm not talking about Steve. 

Here we all are at the top of Killington Peak. 

Steve "Crash" Gagnon doing his Spiderman impression into the safety net. Whew, that was a close one. After we found out he was OK, we laughed for at least 20 minutes.

When asked if he was ready to go, he replied "I'm sittin' pink". That's when we thought maybe he hit his head too hard. 

The Flying Johnson! Believe it or not, he was doing this on purpose. After dinner the first night, we decided to do some night sledding. 

GOING UP!!!!  

Killington, Vermont Ski Fest '06

Our fine accomodations slopeside. A mere few feet from Great Eastern trail. Chef Dan preparing a fine meal. Carl relaxing and sipping a fine Canadian beverage.
Look at that breakfast. Much needed fuel for the day ahead.
