FISH

I want to try and post a video to this thing and see if it works.

When Mike and I went to Seattle, we went to Pike Place Market. There are shops and stores galore - we only had about 2 hours to wander around and that didn't even get us all the way through the very top level. However, I was able to visit the fish market where they throw the fish and make all sorts of comments. If you know me, you have heard me refer to the FISH video. When I worked at Worlds of Fun, as part of the orientation process, we had to watch the FISH video. It is all about having fun and making the customer's day. It is a great concept. However, after seeing it so many times, it just gets old. But, I just HAD to see this place in person. Well I got to see it and I got to see them throw a fish. Look at the video and listen to them chatter. It's a ton of fun!

I best get on with homework...

My Space

Wednesday - Hump Day...nothing exciting going on around here. It's raining (has pretty much been pouring buckets all day so hopefully the basement doesn't decide to fill up). I got an email from a friend of mine directing me to her MySpace page. I got hooked...I had to set up a page for myself. If you have an account, you can go on and request to be able to view it at http://www.myspace.com/176872611. It's nothing exciting but it is fun to be able to put some stuff up there and see what comes of it. I still like this site much better for blogging but it is nice to be able to try something different once in a while. The way I understand it, I can post videos and such to that site and then post them in here for easier viewing. I haven't tried it but I plan to...after I am done with school work for tonight.

I better get to it!

C'ya!

The First Summertime Photos

As promised - a few photos from the weekend:


Chicken anyone? The menu included BBQ Chicken wings, corn-on-the-cob, and Julie's most famous and wonderful potato salad!


We got out the golf ball horseshoe game and had a bit of fun. Her is Alyx trying her hand at it. They all had a ball with that thing (no pun intended).

Everyone was just hanging out chatting. The guest list included Chuck and Joy (Mike's mom and step-dad), Dale and Betty (Mike's sister-in-law's parents), Shawn (Mike's sister-in-law's brother), Carl and Bev (Kent's mom and dad), Erik and Julie (Mike's brother and his wife) and their son Josh, daughter Emily, and a friend of Josh's another Josh, Keith and his son Josh (Kent's brother) **Keith's wife and daughter were unable to attend because Ariel had chicken pox** Kent and Kim, Joe (Kim's son) and a friend of his Travis, Chris (Kim's son), Brandon (Kent's son), Amanda (Kent's daughter) and her roommate Katie and friend Austin, Mike and I and his daughter Alyx.

The girls (Betty left, Julie middle, and me on the right) hanging out chatting about life. Joy and Alyx are doing something in the bathroom in the background. I have no idea what but I figure I better tell you so you don't wonder.

Erik (left) taking a nap. Me and Topos listening to the conversation between Kim and Katie. Carl gave his two cents on what Deja Vu really is. I'll give you his number if you want to hear it.

Sedona wasn't too thrilled about all of the excitement of photo opportunities. Mike sat down on the lawnmower to listen to the conversations and she jumped right on up. In case you don't know, Sedona HATES the camera. All we have to do is unzip the camera bag and she does whatever she can to get away from it. She also hates thunderstorms - I wonder if the flashing light from the camera and lightning are related to her fear...

Even though the temperature outside was a mild 80 degrees and the pool water was a mere 77 degrees, the kids (and even a couple of adults) had no problem diving in. After all, what would the official kick-off to summer be if there wasn't swimming involved?

That is all I have for the birthday/Memorial Day Weekend get-together. It was a great time and maybe something we should consider doing every year. That is if we can talk Kent and Kim into putting on the show again.

I better get off of here. My next class starts tonight so I best get to it.

C'ya!
