Summer 2004
In May we visited Illinois where there was a Jacob family reunion. Here's a shot of all the neices and nephews | We also attended Delores' retirement party in the Quad Cities. |
On our yearly Rocky Mountain NP trip in June we saw some moose. | Over the July 4th weekend we went on a fun backpacking with our friends Jonathan and Valida in the Sangre De Cristos. |
Here's another backpacking shot on another trip in the Sangres. | This was a very wet summer and the wild flowers were very good. Here are some in the San Juan Mnts |
Paul and Joe stopped by after their record breaking mountain climbing trip in Colorado. This shot is up on Pikes Peak | Chris managed to set a new personal best in the Pikes Peak Ascent race. It snowed the day before so the top was slushy |
We replaced our 15 year old clunker with a new truck. Much better mpg. | In October we visited Canyonlands NP for a beautiful backpacking trip in the area called "The Needles" |
Here's a great shot at sunrise from our campsite |

We also visited Natural Bridges National Monument. Try to find Sharon in this shot! | |
In October, Chris completed the Chicago Marathon. Here he is gutting it out at the finish | Sharon had a big feature in the Colorado Springs newspaper about a grocery store nutrition tour that she conducts |
