Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'

On father's day Callen started riding his bike with out the training wheels.  He practiced with Oil (my dad) and Rusty in the grass for about an hour and then we took the wheels off at home and off he went.  It didn't take him long to just get it.  I am so proud.  He is of himself too!

Yellowstone

Many months ago it was decided that the entire Roberts family would get together to honor our Grammie Darlene's 90th birthday.  Her birthday is in August, but that time of year is just not good for those of us with school age kids.  So....we pushed it up to June.  It was planned that we would rent a large house, much like we did when we went to the Hiawatha trail.  The house that was found was in Ashton, ID.  It is about an hour away from the west entrance to Yellowstone.  We drove over on Saturday and stopped off to see the Craters of the Moon monument near Arco, ID.  The kids seems slightly interested.  I had a hard time getting geared up for this trip since I just don't think they are old enough to appreciate sites like this one or Yellowstone.  They sure have fun playing with the other kids, but the traveling and site seeing part is hard on them.

Any way.... here are some pictures.  We did enjoy the sites.  Or at least I did.  We are glad to be home and glad to have the opportunity to go.
