Coronado islands: blue whales and diving videos!

When T came to visit, he was on a mission. A dry suit diving mission!

Day one was a little exhausting, a little hairy but still a good time.

Day two we took a dice boat to the Coronado islands.
On the way there and back we ran into a few groups of Blue Whales!






Video from our dive...

the wyoming trip

In July we made it up to Wyoming for the rodeo!

one night S&P wanted to take the kids to the carnival; only thing
is that no adults wanted to spin in circles. Well no one except K!



Too much spinning and too much cotton candy!


the one ride big sis did get on...

...which was one more then me!




I'm not even sure where we were here?




The weather was pretty much perfect the entire trip.
Kind of a bummer we couldn't access the cave but we did
get in some good hiking, swimming & fossil hunting.



The next series of photos cracks me up.

The sisters picking the giant dandelions...









The next generation...





Who knew another BIG part of rodeo was hula hooping?
At least it was a big part of our evenings.


I decided not to show any footage of the but-darts here, but
it's worth a youtube search!
