I know what we did this summer.

We spent last week on our first real summer vacation since Lincoln was born.  In total, we spent around 24 hours on the road. Lincoln handled it remarkably well - at least as good as Linda and I did.

Our adventure started in Estes Park, CO.  Linda's sister, Mary, found a great cabin with a beautiful view overlooking Estes Park.  It had more than enough room for the eight of us - Linda, Lincoln, Mary, Randy, Everett, Linda's parents, and me.

We started our first morning in the mountains with a nice, family hike around Bear Lake.

After Bear Lake, Linda, Mary, Randy, Everett (in the pack), and I got a little more adventurous and did the 2.5 mile route to Alberta Falls.  It was very nice.

Later we tested Lincoln's sea legs with a cruise around Lake Estes in paddle boat.  Lincoln really enjoyed it - we were surprised.

Our trip ended in Nebraska with my parents.  We spent a day-and-a-half with them and got to go to the river, as well as visit Great Grandma (although Lincoln didn't get to ride on Great Grandma's scooter).
