Good Times In Sunny St. George


Fun With The Girls
St. George, Utah

Our future teenagers, our next generation, our pride and joy.



Just go up there Hailey



The benefit bike ride that brought us all to Southern Utah:
Make-a-Wish 100 mile. Never mind that we only did 30 miles.

Once again mom made arrangements for us girls to do another
big bike ride. This time our destination was a quick 6 hour car
ride away, and why not bring the kids and a couple of husbands
to take care of the kids. The drive time went by expeditiously:
giggling girls in the back, gossiping moms in the front. After
enjoying the St. George sand dunes and cliffs with the kids, us
moms took off to do the anticipated ride. The funny thing is that
we all felt content to do just 30 of the 100 miles, unheard of in
this family. So after a casual jaunt around town on the bikes we
rejoined the kids at the hotel pool and sat around for the rest of
the day, highly unusual for athletic women such as ourselves.
I think we're going soft!

There's Something In The Water!!!


NASSAU, BAHAMAS 2011

Do NOT look behind you!!!
(JAWS soundtrack is playing)


They're Everywhere!!!


It's going straight for Dave...less hair, more tasty


Jared and Nanette escaped only because they were paying tribute to
the "Occupy Wallstreet" protesters. Down with corporate greed, more
rights for sharks!
No treasure, what a rip

Dave survived the shark dive because he's so strong and manly


At least I think he survived, still waiting for him to come back

All fingers and toes accounted for


Right in the middle of hurricane season we went to the Bahamas.
We like adventure. The best case scenario was to dive with sharks,
absorb a little sun, relax on the beach and overeat for a few days
and then experience a good Category 4 hurricane. I would tie Dave
to a tree so that he could get some good pictures and the bragging
rights for a good story later on. Well it turns out that the weather
was pretty good. Good enough to see a hundred sharks close up.
Good enough to see several underwater shipwrecks. Good enough
to eat fresh conch salad. Good enough to spend time looking out
onto the turquoise sea, ankle deep in powdery sand.....
