What is the deal with these shoes (termed used loosely)? I see them everywhere! Okay I get it if these fit in your profession - supposedly they are comfortable i.e.: nurse, surgeon, GARDNER, but in normal day wear? I just don't get it.
I couldn't wait to post these pictures. One of my best friends got married on June 3, 2006 and I was the Matron of Honor. They had a beautiful service and reception and Terry and I had a great time. They had dated for like 6 years so this was a long time coming!
I took the kids to D-land on Saturday. I swear it was the hottest day of the freakin' year. We were melting. It was totally packed too - but it is the Happiest Place on Earth so we had fun anyway. I had promised to take Max and this was really the only time we could do it. The kids all go camping next week with Glenn and Max has to get back up to school - he made the football team and practice starts.
Terry is usually all about the business and is usually pretty tight lipped on personal issues, that is why I was so surprised to receive a chain-like email from him this morning. His asnwers didn't surprise me but I thought it was cool that he even did it (the email originated from his mom). So I thought I'd share.

We had a wonderful vacation, we are all sorry to see it end. We especially weren't happy to come home to 100+ degree weather. We started our trip driving through Nevada and Arizona. We stopped in Provo, Utah for lunch and let the kids run around outside for awhile. We stopped in Pocotello Idaho for some sleep and then drove into Idaho Falls where we visited Terry's mom's gravesite. We then headed into Yellowstone via the Montana west entrance. Our first sighting of wildlife were 2 bald eagles in a nest. My picture was from the RV b/c there wasn't a turnout but Terry assured me that I would see plenty of animals. Boy was he was right. In fact we saw so many bison that after the first 2 days the kids didn't even yell out when they saw one. We also saw ospreys, elk, gray wolves, a coyote, deer, pronghorn deer, and on the last day a male teenage grizzly bear!! I loved Yellowstone, there is so much to see I can't wait to go back. We also met up with some friends of ours, Leslie and Matt who live in Montana. After Yellowstone we drove through the Grand Teton National Park into Jackson Hole Wyoming. The kids were ready to move here (of course they don't have any idea what the winters are like). We went to a rodeo on the 4th of July and watched the fireworks afterward. The next morning the 4 bigger kids and I went on a rafting trip down the Snake River where we saw 8 more bald eagles. Later that night we went to chuckwagon/dinner show where we rode in covered wagons and almost got attacked by Indians but ended up arriving safely to our dinner spot where we ate BBQ and listened to a band play cowboy songs. We stopped in Salt Lake on the way back home and took the kids to a Water Park before driving the rest of the way home. I was ready. We did good but 7 people in an RV for 11 days can take its toll on you. I do think there was 1 night in there where I had quite a few Malibu's and pineapple juice. The pictures are great, will follow.
I am always late but here is my tribute to Father's Day. Thanks for everything Dad!
