Geocaching, North Dakota style!


Rich went out looking for geocaches in and around Jamestown while we visited the Wynnes in Jamestown last weekend. Here's Noah holding one of the two caches he helped Rich find near the Pipestem Dam northwest of Jamestown.

On the way to a cache near Ypsilanti, N.D. ...



Rich found a cache at the end of this point created by a sharp bend in the James River, which flows south from Jamestown through Ypsilanti. At 710 miles long, the James River is the longest unnavigable river in the world!

A wonderful birthday gift


Rich turned 41 a couple of weeks ago, and for his birthday, Erin went out and bought him a new Trek Madone 5.0 carbon-fiber bicycle to replace his 15-year-old Trek 2100, which was getting a little long in the sprockets! Thanks, honey!

Easter in Jamestown, N.D.


The Gordons spent this past Easter weekend with Erin's family in Jamestown, N.D.! Here, the sleeping beauties grab a few winks on our way to Moorhead to pick up the boys, who spent the week with their father.



We stayed with Erin's parents, Lloyd and Kathy, at their house in Jamestown. Here we're having a pizza supper! Going clockwise around the table and starting at the front left are Caleb, Lucas, Noah, Peyton (Libby's daugher), Libby (Erin's sister), Sarah, Erin, and Zane (Libby's son).

A quiet week at home


The boys have spring break from school this week, and they're spending it with their father in Moorhead. So Sarah has been getting some quality time with mom and dad! This Friday we're driving up to Jamestown for Easter Weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Wynne, Aunt Libby and Uncle Brian, cousins Peyton and Zane, and Sarah's great-grandma Myrtle! We'll pick up the boys on the way through Fargo-Moorhead. Happy Easter, everyone!
