TIME IN NEW ENGLAND....err, i mean Colorado



The Bryce/Bruce combo in the kitchen making campfire potatoes.











Man, look at the size of that thing!!! and the plane was big too!















The whole Funk-Kennedy, minus Jamie, on the front steps of their home. Me, Bryce, Nancy, Theresa, Michael, Sara, Daniel, and Hannah (in order of decending age :-( )































"Wow, did I do that?!" It was about time the Nancy tried out my home-defense weapon once...a titanium .38 Special with 130 gm hollow point rounds.




























Here's part of the Kennedy/Funk armed militia...Michael at the trigger of a Henry .22 repeater. Little brother Daniel is quite the crack shot with that gun!
























Michael & Sara fixing the trout they and Daniel caught Sunday morning for our breakfast Monday morning...nothing like fresh trout for breakfast in the mountains!!!

















Our 2 lovebirds that made this all happen...had a great time with our "new" in-laws from Westcliffe, CO. This shot is from the top of the hill behind their cabin.

















Sara and her little brother Daniel fishing for brook trout in Grape Creek, just a short 1/2 mile drive and 1/3 mile hike.....STRAIGHT DOWN...to the creek (killed my bad knees not to mention not much air to breathe at 8500 ft elevation!






















Me and my favorite co-pilot in the cockpit of the '97...i sat there and reminisced about the old bird in her glory days.



























I wasn't allowed to land her, but I did have her for a while on straight and level flight (just kidding...but my mind went back to the day in the late '45s when she was a proud bird fighting for our county...boy, i'd have loved to have a go at the controls!)
