Sydney Fuller

Crane Game

I got a new Mino HD camera. Giving the non-HD one to Kim for her purse. So I uploaded a quick video I shot of the kids to see how it goes. YouTube won’t let you embed the HD quality version (yes, there is a hack but it blows up). So you have to click on the video to go to YouTube. Then under the video on the lower right, you will see “watch in HD”. But you can watch the HQ (high quality) version right from this web page. Just click the little “up arrow” icon in the lower right and choose HQ. The video will start playing with noticeably better quality. See what you think.

Sydney’s Room Tour

Flagstaff Trail

I asked Sydney if she wanted to do a little hiking with the dogs today. Sure! So she comes down in her hiking clothes. What do you think?

We left Reagan and Kim behind because Reagan walked 10 feet and started crying about how her feet hurt. The real trooper carried on and herded the dogs along. Sydney was particularly frustrated that Dakota kept eating the snow.

This girl takes after her Mom. She has to hydrate constantly!

We came upon some rock formations and without missing a beat, Sydney hopped up on them and climbed to the top. No fear. It was me saying “be careful!”.

We were about a mile away from the car at this point. So we called Kim and had her come pick us up so we didn’t have to re-cover our tracks. While waiting Sydney complained that I never let her climb for long enough. I explained to her that when I ask her what she wants to do on the weekend and she says “nothing!” — remember, this is an option! All in all — I love taking this kid outdoors. Never complains and always loves to find a new adventure. Except for when we were going up this small icy stretch and she told me that “she didn’t sign up for this!”. What the hell?

New Photos

I had forgotten about the kid’s cameras and have been yelling at them to drag the cameras along. These kids need to capture their own life moments. I can’t follow them around until they are 30 blogging their every move. Can I? So I cleaned off Sydney’s camera today and there were 53 photos out of the hundreds that were interesting. They go from last summer in Leadville, to a trip to Indiana where she got Zelda, to Christmas, to a hike today in Boulder.

Fishbowl

Should have waited till she chewed her food.

Oh Christmas Tree

Time to put away the tree. But Kim wanted to capture her annual picture of the kids in front of their trees. So you get a good idea of how they have grown.

On The Road Home

Yeah!
