August 2nd and 3rd, 2007: Go Fly A Kite

We had a decent afternoon without thunderstorms around on the 2nd. I decided to get out one of the kites which Todd Gansel (our friend through HAM Radio and NWS Outreach in Billings) so graciously gave the boys at our going away party. This is one occasion when we were glad to have underground utilities and no old trees in the yard!


Here also is a picture of Travis and his build-a-bear, Thunder. Nolan and Barrett have build-a-bears' from Mackinac City, Michigan named Mack and Nack, respectively. Travis' bear was made in Loveland, Colorado and is named for the fact that the Thunderbirds were in town when he was born.


And finally, biggest brother Nolan helping to feed Travis on Friday.



I am back to work starting this afternoon, but it has been a great break helping out Kelly and getting to do some bonding with Travis.
