Couldn't forget to add this one of "Elmer Fudd"..."which way did they go"!! Yes, Jacoby entered into the magic age of 6 years old so he got his 1st gun...BB of course! Doesn't seem possible that he's that old already!

Christmas was a wonderful time this year with everyone getting together under one roof. This year has been an adjustment with everyone scattered, but what a blessing to be able to get together during the holidays. I thank Lance & Kelli for braving the mountain where they had horrible driving conditions and B & Rochelle for battling more weather problems with flight delays and cancellations. We were able to attend Lance's Christmas Eve service here in town. Chelle almost made it in time but weather delays caused her to miss it but at least she made it!! The boys had a great time playing together and Xander got to spend some quality time with his cousins Jacoby and Boaz. We're all counting the days until the next get together in June for our annual float trip down the John Day River. Weather conditions should be in our favor then!!

Here's where it all started, San Juan, Puerto Rico. The view from our room and very excited to get this long awaited week underway. Truely a time to relax with no cellphones or call outs!!

60th birthday on Aruba....I recommend it to everyone! What beautiful, clear water. The snorkeling was as good or better than St. John!! The people were great and very friendly. Can't wait to go back there soon! Water temperature is 84 degrees....my kind of snorkeling water!!

Bonaire was beautiful, started out bad with some rain but turned out to be a good day. The snorkeling was awesome in crystal clear water!

Greneda we were rained (poured) out all day, tours were cancelled. The island smells so beautiful with all the spices they grow (cocoa, nutmeg, star anise, cloves, cinnamon, cumin, curry) again another rainforest island. We stayed on the ship and vegged most of the day and took pictures of the big ship parked next to us!!

Dominica was a beautiful, lush, rainforest. 380 inches of rain a year!! Yes, we did the river tubing and had a great time, just no control. Sure wanted my pontoon to shoot the rapids. We went all the way down 2000 feet to the ocean....it was awesome!

St Thomas, beautiful as always! Snorkeled in Turtle Cove and Al J saw a "herd" of about 7 in a group! It was great to visit one of our favorite islands, but that meant our week was over and we were headed back home :(
