Summer 2011

Well, its been a long time between posts… there is little to excuse the poor posting performance… other than… lets not go there… 

    

Our House

Some miscellaneous photos of the house. Forgive the poor quality as they were taken from my phone. No post would be complete without a couple of cute Asher pics. Here are my favs.

FAMILY PHOTOS

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS I.E. RAFTS

Its nice to have friends, especially friends who own rafts and take you out in them, thanks Mike and Bex.  Well since I don’t have the same talent for writing as Rose and Crystal, and since they have posted most of the photos already I will keep it short.  So yes I nearly drowned, I was under the water for 22 seconds which seemed a lot longer, I was very confused, I swallowed a lot of water, I didn’t know which way was up or down, it was very dark.  I was especially confused when I went into the ball position as instructed but still didn’t come up after 3 attempts, (I kept getting dragged and bashed out of position) I wondered why this was happening to me, even when i surfaced I couldn’t breathe because I was choking …it was really quite terrifying, yet strangely exhilarating and one of the worst things to ever happen to me, I still have a throbbing headache 3 days later and my back is covered in bruises, I am  very grateful for my helmet.

 

In all it was a good day and I feel like I bonded with everyone present as we all faced danger together, So we now have a rafting fellowship of Mike, Bex, Dean Carly, Rose, Crystal, Sam, Jasmine, Clinton, Jake, KC, Mary and our little mascots Asher and Sophie.
