Rockford at Birds of Prey NCA and Snake River Canyon
Originally uploaded by dc15626.

We sent Rockford out west this weekend to see his old buddy Don’s homestead. Yesterday, they went hiking. Rockford’s dad laughed when I told him that.

On a typical Saturday in high school, Rockford and Don might have played a round of golf, then retired to the house to watch a Cubs game and toss back a few dozen donuts. But now they’re having Adventures in the Great Outdoors.

They’re probably having Grape Nuts and wheatgrass smoothies for breakfast this morning. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)

There are some more pictures in Don’s Flickr photostream.

1. Orange Cream Cupcakes. These look so tasty. I’m hungry.

2. FauxHawk. When Poppy had less hair, it “kewpied” like this even when she wasn’t in the tub.

3. three ninjas! (day 96). I love cloned photos, and I love the fact that she found a Yoda statue for the backdrop.

4. spaghetti western. Sock monkey vs. horses.

5. shipdogdog. I have a weak spot for weiner dogs.

6. free. Flying kid!

7. Untitled. Mmmm… giant cake. I do really like the striking contrast here, too.

8. 365.95 Sisterhood of the Traveling Socks Dyxie always has the coolest backgrounds.

9. Fly So High. Another flying kid!

10. Shryock’s Farm 4.6.2007. We used to drive past this place all the time. Sigh.

11. Day One Hundred Seventy-Six: Contemplating The Fact That I Thought Today Was Halfway And Then Realized My Abacus Is Broken …. This looks like a rock star photoshoot.

12. Whimsical Wedding Cake. This is such a cool wedding cake! I’d imagine that was a fun wedding.
