The San Diego Zoo

Sara and Chris have seasons passes to the zoo. So this afternoon while we were waiting to pick Chris up from the airport we took Kylie and Chloe over to the zoo. We had a great time. We didn't have a lot of time but still got to see the petting zoo, take a bus tour, and ride the gondolas. It was really a lot of fun!

Sidewalk Chalk with Kyler

Our next door neighbor loves to come hang out with Casey and me. We have so much fun with him. He is the cutest kid. Sometimes Kyler decorates our driveway for us. Today I went out and colored with him. We had a great time.

Eugene's Out in the Artdoors

Each May the City of Eugene, Oregon puts on an urbane adventure race. Similar to the TV show The Amazing Race and Kellie Nemke, Marnee's partner runs the team that organizes the event. So Marnee invited Matt, Casey and I out there to be a part of her team and compete in the race. We had a great time, although it took a lot longer to complete than we thought it would. We road bikes from location to location completing tasks either physical, mental or artistic. My ass was killing me from the bicycle seat by the end of it, but well worth the bonding. Here are a few of the pictures from the event. Enjoy...

Aloha Maui!

May 1-5, 2009

My cute husband and I decided we needed a little get away. (Actually I decided I needed a get away and he complied.) We finally chose Maui as our destination (other locations in the running included; Paris, Belize, Costa Rica, and Cozumel). We had a great time. We went to a different beach each day, got to see the windsurfers and para surfers, went to eat at some great restaurants, and most memorably drove the "Road to Hana". Up, down, in, out, over, up, down, in, out, over = Katie very car sick!! We found sound Dramamine at the little camp store in Hana and that saved me on the way back. Plus, we stopped a lot and looked at all the waterfalls. We also went and checked out The Plantation course at Kapalua where the PGA plays their first tournament every year. What an amazing golf course. The trip was a great time, but a little too short. I would have loved a couple more days.
