Motorboats & Airboats- Florida

Tim took Tom and I out in a boat on the ocean (Gulf of Mexico) and it was a choppy day. Tim, who is actually a daredevil in disguise, took us on a wild ride. Let's just say that when we got back into the bay I was very relieved.

Alligators- Florida

Tom was so happy when we found gators to wrestle. OK, well, we didn't actually wrestle but it was awesome to be able to hold some of these guys. One even took a leak on Tom- kind of funny. Anyway, the guy helping us said that the small one liked hugs so guess what I got- a hug by an Alligator. Pretty cool!

Sandcastles & Sunsets- Florida

Tom and I loved the beach when we were in Florida. This beach was outside our condo and as you can see it was really big. The sand was white and so soft. Just a 3 minute walk away on our same beach was a sandcastle contest. We weren't able to see them completed but they were awesome from what had been done so far.

Seattle Girls Get-Away

We had a great time in Seattle. Our rental was on a little bay that filled and emptied twice a day with the tide. The homes were beautiful and everything was so green. We ate some great seafood and did some shopping, site seeing, and went to an aquarium on the wharf. It was great seeing my sister Stephanie which I don't see very often since she moved to Alaska.

Of course, we had to eat at the Crabpot where they dump your dinner on the table. I'm just glad it didn't crawl away. Amanda & I above and my mother & Stephanie below.

Heather's Birthday- still 29!

OOOH! Chocolate Cake- my favorite.
