MICHAEL GOES TO COLLEGE -DCC

We took Michael to college on August 23, 2008. He moved into his apartment that night (after a 9 hour drive). He will be rooming with Austin. His other two roommates are Ricky and Nick.

MORE FISHING

Michael gets the big fish and Steven bites the big one. One last fishing trip before Michael leaves for college on Saturday. Michael out fishes Mitch, but Steven really bites it when he falls down the cliff and his left toes meets his left ear - the knee is not meant to go that direction. X-rays showed nothing and we are going to wait two weeks to see if he needs a MRI on the knee.

Michael's 19th BIRTHDAY!

Whose birthday is it anyway?

Going to the Zoo in Idaho Falls 2008

Michael and Michelle are showing Brayden the goat at the petting zoo.
He didn't seem to interested.
The otters would come right up to the window.
Brayden was finally interested!
Michael is a very good uncle. He and Brayden enjoyed the zoo together.
The flamingos really got Brayden's attention - they are really noisy.
The animals, including this monkey,
seemed more interested in Brayden than he did in them.
