It was a nice warm night, they would have went all night if we let them. They were so excited when one of our dads neighbors let them chose 4 FULL SIZE candy bars. That was the highlight of the night for them. :)<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SviM8RZLRsI/AAAAAAAAAQo/nXNXFmhcxkA/s1600-h/Halloween+009.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402222720119948994" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SviM8RZLRsI/AAAAAAAAAQo/nXNXFmhcxkA/s320/Halloween+009.jpg" /></a><br />These are the pumpkins we carved the night before Halloween.

And we did a TON of hiking. As I am on my journey to skinnyville I realized how important it is to exercise as well as eat healthy. My husband and kids have been so supportive in helping me with this goal. Hiking with them has been so much fun, it has become something we truly enjoy doing together as a family. I hope we can find something active to do together in the winter months that are fast approaching. I will list the hikes we have been on and some pictures of each.</div><div><br /><div>9/28/08 - Desolation Lake, 6.7 miles, our longest hike yet. The fall colors were gorgeous. It is such a beautiful time of year to hike to this lake.</div><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252021718999017602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SOLt7VGSqII/AAAAAAAAAKE/2tPF5N1hEE0/s320/IMG_1984.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252020402267227858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SOLsur4-BtI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/JqZMoY_qJ20/s320/IMG_1973.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252022550702850194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SOLurvb8AJI/AAAAAAAAAKM/NhTSFHMhY2k/s320/IMG_2005.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252023258285157794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SOLvU7YtLaI/AAAAAAAAAKU/UUWSkZ5Y9kk/s320/IMG_2008.JPG" border="0" />9/13/08 - Ferguson Canyon, 3.4 miles, this canyon was awesome because of the large granite slabs that form the canyon walls. They are extremely popular with the rock climbers. Rock climbing is a hobby of Jess' that he has not done in many years. After we hiked this canyon we got all of Jess' rock climbing gear out and dusted it off. This winter we are going to do some training so next year we can climb that canyon. </p><p>9/7/08 - Bell's Canyon, 5.6 miles, by far our most favorite hike, it was difficult, but the falls made it all worth while.<br /></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252024000952189058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SOLwAKCUwII/AAAAAAAAAKc/480kuyyYNEc/s320/IMG_1945.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252025079626992610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SOLw-8acC-I/AAAAAAAAAKk/relu_OBTKC4/s320/IMG_1949.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252026724984811362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SOLyet2T72I/AAAAAAAAAKs/RWgjjrrs9bg/s320/IMG_1955.JPG" border="0" />8/30/08 - Murdock Peak, 6.6 miles, this was a hard hike. Especially the last mile and a half to the peak, we were scrambling in some areas. When we got to the top we could see all the way into Park City.

I was watching the Mike and Juliet show that morning and heard of a website, <a href="http://www.gocitykids.com/">http://www.gocitykids.com/</a>, to find fun things to do in your area. So we logged on and were scrolling thru things to do, movies in the park, story time at the library, then we see:</div><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://gocitykids.parentsconnect.com/attraction/snowbird-ski-and-summer-resort-highway-210-little-cottonwood-canyon-sandy-ut-84092-us">Snowbird Summer Thrill Rides</a> Snowbird's warm weather thrill rides are open for the season. Rides include the ZipRider, Alpine Slide, Bungy Trampoline, the Peruvian Express Chairlift and tunnel, a mechanical bull, inflatable kids' rides, a four-station climbing wall, and the Aerial Tram. </div><br /><div>That sounds real fun, let's go. We don't tell the girls where we are going but that we are going some where fun. I guess we have tricked them in the past because they were very skeptical. Every other minute, "just tell us where we are going, pleeeaaassseee!" The suspense was killing them so we just let them guess the whole way there.</div><br /><div>Once we arrived they still were not sure what to expect until we got up to the tram, then they were all smiles. They saw the inflatable games, the bungy trampoline, the climbing wall... "can we do this, can we do that" began.</div><br /><div></div><div>Jess and I wanted to do the tram first, "it is leaving in 10 minutes" the ticket man told us, so we go over and get in line. Again, "what are we doing, why are we waiting here, are we doing this, are we doing that"... oh what fun we had with them, tehe.</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227383221002203378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SItlV_iscPI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/OxWT1DaXxHo/s320/tram.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>The tram was awesome, suprisingly I have never been on it. The views were so beautiful, the girls were a little scared at first, but since the ride was so smooth their fears relaxed after a few minutes. Then it was dad look at this, mom did you see that. We were so proud of them for being brave.</div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227380164536862818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SItikFUkiGI/AAAAAAAAAIw/XpIXjiisbhI/s320/tramview.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div></div><div>At the top where the tram stops we explored for about 20 minutes, took lots of pictures and just enjoyed the views.</div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227379222619486866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SIthtQZ9-pI/AAAAAAAAAIo/DnYefRmOuBA/s320/usview.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227381000708840146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SItjUwTgWtI/AAAAAAAAAI4/yZIYb7Gy5Nw/s320/girlsview.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227381842966733426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SItkFx9b4nI/AAAAAAAAAJA/whfDk9U_ODg/s320/girlsview2.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227382534903380786" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SItkuDn_OzI/AAAAAAAAAJI/PdTmjUsE-qU/s320/view.jpg" border="0" /> <div></div><div>Next we went over to the Alpine slide. The line was forever long and there was no shade. We waited of course because that is what we were here to do. We all complained a lot about the heat, listened to the conversations going on around us, and just anticipated the ride. When it was our turn we planned to go down as Lexi and Sydney racing and then mom and dad racing. Well it didn't turn out that way, there was an odd number of people in the group in front of us so Lexi had to race one from their group, Jess and Sydney raced down together, and then I went down alone. I felt a little silly, but it was fun.</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227383859999086050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SItl7L_bFeI/AAAAAAAAAJY/WyTP98l4zto/s320/alpine.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227385145458180338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SItnGAswQPI/AAAAAAAAAJg/-RXkGoEQiCA/s320/alpine1.jpg" border="0" /> <div></div><div>After that we needed something to eat, we went down to the Pizza shop and enjoyed an extremely large veggie pizza and water. After we started to get our energy back we went back up for bungy bouncing and wall climbing.</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227386087471888370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SItn81-Ut_I/AAAAAAAAAJo/ufmNam2Nj70/s320/Lexi+bounce.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227386740977765890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SItoi4eRDgI/AAAAAAAAAJw/D5S4tYCn3Ck/s320/sydbounce.jpg" border="0" /> <div></div><div>Again the wait in the lines were very long, but we all had a really good time. So we definately recommend taking a day to explore Snowbird in the summer.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Jess and Augesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14039821177576541530noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723013803211496518.post-8969371528065942222008-07-14T21:12:00.000-07:002008-07-16T20:44:23.747-07:00Cascade Springs part deux<div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SH68Yhw7MLI/AAAAAAAAAHg/SIlU3UThkMM/s1600-h/mygirls.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223819747362812082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SH68Yhw7MLI/AAAAAAAAAHg/SIlU3UThkMM/s200/mygirls.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223822131083343874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SH6-jR0L-AI/AAAAAAAAAIY/AWOlr3OqQjU/s200/water.jpg" border="0" /><br />Saturday, July 12th we took the family to Cascade Springs.

The water comes right out of the ground, seriously, we walked around the entire springs and there was no river or anything flowing into it. Ok enough learning... enjoy the pics. :)<br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223820174793822322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 231px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 162px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="196" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SH68xaEa0HI/AAAAAAAAAHw/_-Ay-EhFCtI/s200/girls.jpg" width="256" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223820657751333330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 218px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 172px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="166" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SH69NhOdmdI/AAAAAAAAAH4/2Fc3hAyAoAA/s200/girls3.jpg" width="208" border="0" /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223821456576118466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SH698BFIfsI/AAAAAAAAAIA/6KftZFbxgbk/s200/girlsagain.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"><strong>PAIGE, SYDNEY & ALEXIS</strong></p><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223821672119845778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SH6-IkCww5I/AAAAAAAAAII/iof5QslkROU/s200/us.jpg" border="0" /><br /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223821870436441970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SH6-UG1H33I/AAAAAAAAAIQ/YVxXN1dW-fA/s200/them.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"><strong>GRANDPA MERRILL (TOM), GRANDMA MERRILL (VAUNDA), </strong></p><p align="center"><strong>PAIGE, SYDNEY & ALEXIS<br /></strong></p>Jess and Augesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14039821177576541530noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723013803211496518.post-72549342128532364792008-07-11T08:29:00.000-07:002008-07-11T08:41:52.321-07:00Goodbye RE/MAX...I will miss you!<a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHd-MRUXfcI/AAAAAAAAAHA/QowX-S4Jw1s/s1600-h/workgirls2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221781042231737794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHd-MRUXfcI/AAAAAAAAAHA/QowX-S4Jw1s/s200/workgirls2.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div>July 10th was my last day at RE/MAX Results.

Some other friends joined us as well. We started the ride heading up American Fork canyon, went around the Alpine Loop and down to Cascade Springs, it was so beautiful. It's funny how you can live somewhere your whole life and there are still so many things you have not seen. We will definately take the kids back there for hiking and a picnic. </div><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221777555489457490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHd7BUMOhVI/AAAAAAAAAGw/iWweGjSyqcw/s200/springs.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div></div><div>After we walked around Cascade Springs we headed down to Provo Canyon, where we stopped off at Wingers for lunch.

Every year in Logan they have the "Cruise-In" which means a car show. You all know how much Jess is into cars and motorcycles so we headed up there.<br /><br />The kids were so excited on the drive up. Every 5 minutes, are we there yet. :)<br /><br />When we arrived on Thursday Robert and Brittney had the picnic basket full of goodies and we headed out to the park for a picnic and a dip in the "river".<br /><br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQb_ebPNKI/AAAAAAAAAE4/_smKQ1YRKNM/s1600-h/IMG_1601.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220828645342262434" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQb_ebPNKI/AAAAAAAAAE4/_smKQ1YRKNM/s200/IMG_1601.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQb242wqtI/AAAAAAAAAEo/Jq3m67fGO2E/s1600-h/IMG_1582.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220828497818200786" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQb242wqtI/AAAAAAAAAEo/Jq3m67fGO2E/s200/IMG_1582.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQcDw41jNI/AAAAAAAAAFA/sjHuNtMHaTE/s1600-h/IMG_1604.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220828719017725138" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQcDw41jNI/AAAAAAAAAFA/sjHuNtMHaTE/s200/IMG_1604.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQbXsH8ibI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/6qkhA0TU9lk/s1600-h/IMG_1581.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220827961824676274" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQbXsH8ibI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/6qkhA0TU9lk/s200/IMG_1581.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />It was very hot at the park so we decided to go back to their house and turn on the sprinklers for the kids, they had a blast with the water under the trampoline.<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220830128088650690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="170" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQdVyFhk8I/AAAAAAAAAFQ/UaJ6SrJx6gc/s200/IMG_1611.jpg" width="238" border="0" /><br /><br /><br />We have always wanted to see if the "mentos in diet coke" really works.

They had so much fun we couldn't get them to leave. Everyone was very water logged, Brittney and Augest were fried. Put sunscreen on the kids but not yourself, not so smart.<br /><p><br /><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQkfOwSmiI/AAAAAAAAAF4/FdxTVpZTy1A/s1600-h/MAgs.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220837986984434210" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQkfOwSmiI/AAAAAAAAAF4/FdxTVpZTy1A/s200/MAgs.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQkwCt1LwI/AAAAAAAAAGA/1z5DvliJFFQ/s1600-h/high+dive.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220838275810668290" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQkwCt1LwI/AAAAAAAAAGA/1z5DvliJFFQ/s200/high+dive.jpg" border="0" /></a> <br /><br /><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQlEwOsh2I/AAAAAAAAAGQ/iIyG88okOKA/s1600-h/isaac.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220838631625492322" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQlEwOsh2I/AAAAAAAAAGQ/iIyG88okOKA/s200/isaac.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQlPHwC5kI/AAAAAAAAAGY/uyflboo3SdI/s1600-h/no+i+won"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220838809738077762" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQlPHwC5kI/AAAAAAAAAGY/uyflboo3SdI/s200/no+i+won%27t+go.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQlwu9g_BI/AAAAAAAAAGg/vjfa9QEVOoM/s1600-h/IMG_1682.jpg"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQk8W6kP4I/AAAAAAAAAGI/OofhnCgzB9o/s1600-h/ready+go.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220838487391223682" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SHQk8W6kP4I/AAAAAAAAAGI/OofhnCgzB9o/s200/ready+go.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p>Robert and Brittney were wonderful hosts, they fed us VERY TASTY food and are so fun to be with.

We had dinner in Heber at the Claim Jumper, if you ever have the chance go there, it was amazing. (I think there is one in Park City too) After dinner we headed down Provo Canyon up to Sundance and then finally headed home. It was an all day trip, needless to say our bottoms were pretty sore by the end of the day. It is amazing how much more beautiful the scenery is from a motorcycle, you can smell all the flowers, it was so much fun.</div><br /><br /><div></div></div>Jess and Augesthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14039821177576541530noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723013803211496518.post-59745961249022857652008-06-12T21:05:00.000-07:002008-06-14T07:23:47.349-07:00Happy Father's Day!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SFHyGuFoG0I/AAAAAAAAABw/hIMj5jOLYGY/s1600-h/Bike.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211212441109142338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IrWQZu8L-VQ/SFHyGuFoG0I/AAAAAAAAABw/hIMj5jOLYGY/s200/Bike.jpg" border="0" /></a>Jess received his Father's Day present a little early.

And the last one awake would win a prize. EVERYONE was afraid to lie down. Finally Destiny was the first to fall asleep. Misty and Jess thought it would be funnier to draw on her face with marker (don't worry they were erasable). Sydney was the last to fall asleep...2am...then she woke back up at 5am and woke ALL the girls.

We've decided it was probably time to put one together of our own family. Our friends Bob and Britt Wilkinson were kind enough to send us a photo of Augest and I when we were on our cruise (left).
