Blazing Adventures

I'm running out of time hence the abbreviated commentary.  The day started a bit later than usual due to extra sleeping after a late-start viewing of Avatar in the media room.  I made a ride to get some peaches this morning.  Abe had his last lesson with Ms. Whitney.  Taryn took the girls on a run down to the Rio Grande Park by the Roaring Fork River.  They did some yoga (so I'm told) then somehow the three of them all fell into the river.  Abe had a tennis lesson, I ran a couple of errands and then went to the airport to pick up Peter and Shalini and Baja.  Baja is a dog they rescued at an airport in Mexico many years ago.

So, back to yesterday's big adventure.  Here are a bunch of photos.

Here are a few shots before we hit the water.  To the left are Jamuna and Taryn, the two "adult" girls in our family unit.

To the right are Abe and Maya along with Gloria and Tamara.






Here's a shot of Abe as the guide was explaining all the various hazards and risks of the trip.  Once we hit the water and passed the first bend Abe was fearless. I don't have any good action shots of Abe because I couldn't keep up with him.







Here is Taryn.  Her main job yesterday was to make sure no one broke their violin hand, including her own.














Here is Jamuna on full power.  Check out them guns.

Our favorite Aspen collaborative pianist, Ms. Tamara.



And Mr. Kool.
