Most of All, We Like to be Together
We really enjoy our time in the outdoors. We love to go skiing in the winter and explore tide pools at the beach in summer. We also go running, biking, hiking and camping often. And, of course, we all attend Shannon’s soccer and T-ball games. Ken is just starting coaching and thinks it’s a blast!
We like indoor stuff, too. Board games, playing piano, reading books and wrestling with Dad on the carpet are always fun. Lately, we have been doing science projects and making contraptions! Since our house seems to be a hub of activity for the neighborhood, we also like to have group crafts. Painting masterpieces, sidewalk chalk worlds and pretend dress-up lives are created every day around here.

Skiing with Family and Friends
Skiing is one of our favorite things to do. We belong to a ski club Lodge in Lake Tahoe, California. We are able to use the Lodge for year round fun in the mountains. |

Exploring Tide Pools with the Cousins
Here's a good outing: We go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and look at all the cool stuff. Then we go down to a real tide pool and see if we can find something that we just saw at the Aquarium. |

Kathy and Shannon's First 10K Running Race
Shannon and Kathy have now done many 10k races together. Shannon likes to get out of the running stroller now and cross the finish line "first"! |

Ken and Shannon on A Tag-a-Long Ride
Kids love to ride this bike. This way they can see a lot more scenery with much less work! Sometimes Shannon fills his backpack with sand toys and off to the park they go. |

Our Yearly Trip to Disneyland
Sometimes we fly down to Disneyland and sometimes we caravan with another family. If we drive down we usually stop along the beaches on the way back.

Camping with the Cousins
Whether it's camping with cousins or with friends, this is something we really enjoy. It's like living in a big park as far as the kids are concerned. |

Mountain Biking around Lake Tahoe
It's such a beautiful way to see the outdoors. |
