On our way to Denver





We're on our way to Denver from Bozeman, MT. via West Yellowstone and Yellowstone National Park. We had a wonderful time in Bozeman visiting with our 6th grandchild. Francie is a dream. She has the temperament of her grandfather. Never gets upset and smiles all the time. Life is good. The scenery getting here has been spectacular but nothing like my granddaughters beauty.

What a zoo!!!!!


Today we were off to the Tucson Zoo. It's really quite a nic zoo with plenty of animals and exhibits. Yet, it's small enough to see it all in an hour or so. Then we went off to a Mexican restaurant for a great lunch. We are off to Bozeman, Montana tomorrow where we'll see our new granddaughter, Francie. Adios




"We are the Champions"

Justin follows the family tradition. Last night under the lights at McDonald Park the Grasshoppers won the Tanque Verde Little League championship 24-18. Not quite a pitchers battle but really exciting.

You know you are in the U.S. when. . .

We flew to Tucson, AZ. this past Sunday. We are here enjoying our son, his wife and our 3 grandchildren. We went and saw Disney's "UP" in 3D on Monday afternoon. To set the tone, Annie and I went to see Angels and Demons in Panama City before we left for the States. It was $2 each and $1.50 for popcorn and a soda. In Tucson we purchased 2 senior tickets and 2 children's tickets, a water and 3 medium sodas, 3 medium popcorn and a pretzel w/ cheese dish. Ready???????? $62.50. And that was matinee prices. YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time has come and gone

My high school buddy, Jeff, has come and gone. He came down to visit and see Panama for a second time. He was here when he was 3-5 years old. That was a few years ago. After staying on the farm here in Boquete, we ventured to the Azuero peninsula for some exploring. I've been here 9 years and haven't been there before. It took us 5 days to get to Panama City. These photos are taken on the southern most shore of the peninsula, Playa Venao or Playa Venado.




Cheers to a great visit and a great friend.

We had visitors


We had an eventful day yesterday. A snake and a weird rodent.

Niko caught a boa. No , he's not a terroist.

What the heck is this thing?


It ran pretty fast

What is going on?


What is going on? We haven't had a dry season yet and this has been our view for the last 2 nights. My buddy from Denver is headed here next week. I didn't tell him to bring rain gear.
