Winter Wrap Up
Since I'm terrible at keeping this thing up to date, I'm doing one post to sum up our winter. We ended the year by traveling to the
So I kinda missed the memo when Andy said "1,2,3...jump" that he actually meant JUMP....I just stepped off and therefore Andy ended up hitting the water sideways since I wouldn't let go of his hand. Ooops.

1,700 miles part 3
At long last....PANAMA!!!!
Thousands of BATS!!!! The guys hiked in a cave through knee to waist deep water (only lights they had were their headlamps). Bats and cave spiders littered the walls. The cave got so small that the startled bats actually ran into the guys!!
We drove scooters to the bat cave and starfish beach. It rained all day. Makes driving scooters very fun! Our scooter only slid out sideways on the mud once with only one other scooter running into us ;-) haha
Our room at Beverly's Hill (and yes, we had to use the bug net when we slept...there were bugs EVERYWHERE!!!)
Very rare night monkeys. We woke them up so they would come say hi. That's as far as they ever came out of their tree home.
From the deck looking in. I think 8 or 10 of us stayed in this room for a few nights. We had so much fun!!! We played lots of euker (a card game)
Top of Volcan Baru. It was a 14 mile round trip hike. Took us just under 4 hrs to hike up and just over 4 hrs to get back down. The trail was very steep and rugged. We started hiking at 2 am in order to summit at sunrise....absolutely breath taking!! Volcan Baru is the highest point in Central America and the only place where you can see both the Pacific and Carribbean Oceans in one spot.
There are radio towers at the summit...workers who maintain the towers ride up in this tractor and then stay on the summit for about a week before coming back down to town.
After the hike, we joined up with the rest of the group at an animal santuary that rescued animals from human owners.
We had an awesome opportunity to get into a cage with monkeys and feed them craisens. They jumped and climbed all over you!!
A wild caiman living in the pond at the zoo....it wasn't in a cage!!! You could walk right up to it, if you were really sneaky. We weren't and it immediately submerged itself.

1,700 miles part 2
Our last stop before Panama was Las Vegas. We met up with Bert stayed with Krista and Anthony for one night and Anthony was kind enough to drive us to the airport at the crack of dawn and pick us back up 2 weeks later....thanks Anthony!! :-)

1,700 miles
Here's the first installment of much overdue blogging. Andy and I have been traveling for the last 6 weeks. We left Jackson, Mississippi (where we were for 3 months for Andy's job) at the end of September and headed to Kenosha, Wisconsin to visit Glenn, Heather and the kids. After Kenosha, we added a few hours to our trip back to UT in order include a stop at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. Then off to UT to drop off our gear from the summer and pack for another 3 weeks of traveling. After 2 days in UT, we got back in the car and drove to Santa Rosa, CA to visit family. That is as far as I'll go with this post. . .
During our stay in Jackson this summer, we took a week trip over to Texarkana, Texas.
Andy helped Noah put both of his legs in one side of his pants. Noah wouldn't walk, he just stood there and made his funny face. So cute. Of course this happened when Glenn and Heather left us alone with the kids!
Mount Rushmore was incredible. It looked fake. There are so many intricate details...it was hard to believe it was actually carved out of rock!
CALIFORNIA
We went to watch Lexi cheer at her high school football game, but she got injured the day before, so we got to hand out with her instead :-) We ran into one of Andy's old friends at the game. It started to rain a few minutes into the game, but we were tough and stuck around (until half time when it began to pour and you could barely see the field!!).
I was hoping Andy would do a picture like the kids and look like the ape behind him, but he didn't and I did, so I just looked silly. MaryAnn took the picture after I got embarassed.
Jo was nice enough to let us stop at the Golden Gate Bridge on our way home from the Academy of Science
We stopped to have lunch at a point overlooking the crashing waves. Andy found a friend to share his lunch with.

Fun in the Sun
Our first stop was Clearwater Beach. The sand is white and the water is warm...what more could we ask for???.....
....less people!!! :-)
The beach was so crowded the day we went. This picture doesn't give the crowds justice. It was absolutely packed.
He saw a 15 ft alligator right where he is standing about 2 weeks ago.
I'm kinda glad he wasn't out the day I was there :-)
(Yeah, the knee brace is pathetic, but I can't do much without it :-( ) .
