The Barker’s World

A trip back home just isn’t complete without heading up to the top of Mount Lemmon. Nana and Papa have a cabin up there that the family gets to enjoy throughout the year. Fortunately, the big fire of 2003 didn’t burn it down. Some brave firefighters did some fantastic work to make sure that didn’t [...]

While we were staying with Nana and Papa, we took a quick trip over to a winefest at the Sonoita Vineyards in Elgin. Not many people know that they make wine in this area, but they do - and it’s pretty darn good at that. What’s even better about this area is the scenery; once [...]

For the second half of our trip back, we stayed with Matt’s parents in Corona De Tucson (just outside of Tucson). We had a great time with Nana and Papa. The boys loved picking up the Mesquite beans and feeding them to their cousin Samantha’s horses! They also got to ride around a lot on [...]

For the first half of our trip back home to Arizona, we stayed with Ginger’s parents in St. David. The boys really love going here; not only because they get to see grandma and grandpa, but also because of all the cool “toys” grandma and grandpa have.  We spent a wonderful week here, hanging out [...]

We headed out for our latest Arizona adventure on July 21st.  We made it safe and sound, althought Tristan did throw up all over me on the flight from Germany!  Great stuff.  Anybody that knows me well enough knows that I don’t handle throw up very well.  Anyways, I digress…  Other than that we had [...]

Back in May we took our second trip to Tripsdrill.  We did this on Ginger’s birthday and we had a blast.  This time Tristan was big enough to go on quite a few more rides so he really enjoyed himself a lot more I think.  Fortunately there are plenty of rides for kids of all [...]

We recently went on a ski trip to Garmisch with our church. There really wasn’t too much snow at the time, so not sure it was really a “ski” trip, but we had a great time nonetheless. Tristan did get to learn how to ski and did fantastic! It is amazing to [...]

Hi folks; these are just some pictures of our trip to Scotland in 2003. I am testing out a new photo service and wanted to see how well it integrates into the site. Enjoy the photos!

Last week we took a family vacation to Center Parcs Heilbachsee. We packed up the car, including the dog this time, and headed out on a great week of rest and relaxation. This was our second trip to a Center Parcs location, the first was in the Netherlands over the July 4th holiday [...]
