We are Land Owners

We closed on our land today! We now officially own 4 acres of land! Soon to be the home of "Outfield Farms"!

Sugar Bear's First Swim Lesson

I had my first swim lesson, and it was awesome! I'm now just like Michael Phelps, minus the medals, hashish, and skill.

Steph captured the ACTION on our new video camera, and yours truly also created his first "video film" of the 21st century!

Vancouver Olympics

Train ride to Vancouver. Most of the tracks are along Puget Sound, so it makes for a very pretty ride during the day (which may be the only redeeming thing about the train!). We actually saw a number of eagles out feeding in the water in a couple of different spots - very cool!

Finally at the hockey game!

Chris remembered his binoculars and said he could see the whole game great!

Switzerland wins in a 2-1 shoot-out after no score in sudden "victory" overtime. (We decided with a motto of "with glowing hearts" they couldn't call it sudden death!) You can sort of see from the picture that the skinny displays around the stadium showed the country's flag waving - it was cool looking!

The Olympic rings illuminated out in the harbor.

The Olympic cauldron.
You'll have to excuse my face at it was POURING down rain and we were soaked and cold! :)

Thought we'd take the bobsled out for a try!

Chris got to ride in the front seat of one of the trains we took around Vancouver. He was SO EXCITED that he got to look through the train operator's window as we went! The lady sitting next to me whispered to me that all men act like they are 6, even her 50 year old husband!
