Sleepy Brothers

Kiss

Noah, Ryder’s big brother, gave Ryder his first of many kisses when we went to visit at the hospital the day after Ryder was born.

David's 70th

David Eckersley, our good friend and Dan’s fishing buddy, turned 70 in July. Happy Birthday, David! Jan, his wife, had a surprise party for him.

Mellow Fellow

What a mellow fellow. Ryder was born on July 28, 2011, weighing in at 8# 5 oz. Proud parents are Jeremy and Stephanie.

Ryder Thomas Heismann

These pictures were taken after Ryder had nursed and had his first bath about 2 hours after he was born.

St. Elmo

We traveled further west and ended up at St. Elmo, a Colorado ghost town, built in 1878. Gold and silver brought many people to this area.

Hot Springs

We took a "day trip" and drove the car to the Hot Springs located west of Buena Vista. We did not stop to swim, maybe when the weather is cooler it will be more inviting. The colorful flowers, located in front of the lodge, are a welcome site for visitors.
