My 13 Favorite Photos of 2013

Platte River State Park after five inches of snow. So many pictures to
choose from. But this one is so simple. 

Sunrise at the top of Mount Haleakalā. This mountain is over 10,000 feet

above sea level. We had to get up at 3:15 and drive through dozens of

mountain passes to get to the top. Thirty-five degree weather greeted us

at the top. The view was worth it.

The sea turtles were just outside our hotel on Kā'anapali Beach. This was 

an amazing experience.

Amber and me after the wedding I did in Maui. One of my all-time
favorite photos.

We welcomed Esther Finnestad to our family. This
was the day we brought her home from the breeder in
Iowa. She was eight weeks old in this photo. I took
about forty pictures of her this day. This was the only
good one.

We stopped at my home for five years on the way back to
Omaha from Minneapolis.

David before his first dance recital.
I must have been getting ready for a wedding.

Benjamin kayaking off into the sunset at the lake. My favorite lake
photo this year.

The boys solving the world's problems on the dock.

Amish tubing. It's so amazing watching the boys be boys and
entertain themselves.

The only selfie to make the list. Me and my favorite running partner.

Benjamin photo bombing Colin Montgomerie at the
U.S. Senior Open at the Omaha Country Club. I love his freckles.

Benjamin climbing the hills at Platte River State Park. 

Hundreds of families made the purchase of these 23.3 acres possible.
This farm has been feeding hungry people for a century. From now on it will
feed the souls of people in Omaha and beyond.

The boys and their retro Christmas clothing. The smile on David's
face is priceless. Benjamin's serious look is too.

This one will never happen again: a pay phone, a classic car,
and horses in the background.
