Grandpa

Last weekend we traveled over to Idaho to celebrate the life of my Grandpa P who passed away last week.

The service was lovely and it was great to see and spend time with our extended family, who we haven't seen in some time. For me the weekend brought back memories from when we were younger and spent time on Grandma and Grandpa's farm.

I really enjoyed hearing all the stories people shared about Grandpa; it allowed me to see him in ways that I never had before. He really was a great man and is missed.

Water shots

I finally got around to developing the waterproof disposables camera we took on our cruise. Out of the three cameras we filled with pictures, only about thirty pictures turned out. Yes, very disappointing. Still, there are a few that made the cut.
Here is the picture I took of Rob making out with kissing a sting ray.
On. the. lips. I was stunned that he actually did it. SO unlike him.
And here is the picture Rob took of me kissing a sting ray. Awesome, huh.
**edited to add**
Why were we kissing on these things? Well it's said that kissing a sting ray brings seven years good luck. We'll see...
Yep, we're hot in snorkeling gear, we know.
Stingray City in Grand Cayman. The most beautiful water EVER. It's so incredibly clear. Can't wait to go back!


Isla Roatan in Honduras. Great place to Snuba. The Snuba time went by way to quickly. It was more of a browner environment versus the bright tropical colors we'd hoped for, but it is the second largest barrier reef system in the world, so that was pretty amazing.
It was here that Rob was viciously attacked came into contact with some kind of sea urchin and broke out in hives all over. Nothing a trip to the urgent care clinic couldn't handle though. Plus, it makes a great story. He was so brave. ☺
Messing around in our hotel pool in Key West.
Lesson learned: we need to invest in a waterproof digital camera.
