Life or Something Like It

Life SHOULD NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well- preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally WORN out and screaming "WOO HOO - WHAT A RIDE!!!"

Vacation Pictures

I finally got our pictures uploaded of when we went to California.

The vacation started off with Lyndsey's birthday at Rain Forest Cafe. She is 9.
Happy birthday Lynds!!!!!
Royce and his best friend Pat.
Sweet Ry Ry.

Birthday Cake.

After her birthday dinner we hit the road.
Tyler went to dinner with us, but didn't want to go to Cali. So he stayed with a friend.
Here is a cat we saw at a gas station on the way.
Chilling in the hotel in La Mesa. Early early am.

Ryan and Dad.
Lyndsey and Cheyenne being silly at like 4 am. At Sea World the next day.

The kids had to sit in the Soak Zone. I chose to stay dry.
Best Friends.
Lunch at the Shipwreck Cafe.
Touching Sea Stars.

On the SkyRide.

I was very scared on this one. It looks like Ryan was too.
The bay from the SkyRide.
The girls are just growing up too fast.
Don't they look old here?
And so pretty.
They weren't scared at all of the ride, and were laughing at me.
Tebs had to stay in "jail" while we were having fun.
This is how we smuggled Tebs into the "No Dogs Allowed" hotel rooms.
Very sneaky.

This was when she finally was brave enough to touch them.

Rif thanks a lot man. my kids saved me and in a way I saved them. It is the single most intense spiritual experience of my life.

Barb I am almost in tears looking at these pics. I love California so much. Thank you for letting me show you what I love and thank you for loving it too.
Yours forever.
