sliding, sliding, sliding

so this summer has been loads of fun...i've done a lot of traveling...first in a plane and then many, many hours in a car...the car i've been riding in/driving was purchased new at the end of may...it now has almost 7000 miles on it...too bad those miles don't count towards my airline mileage :) i've seen some awesome sights...and awesome people... below is a series of pics i took of one of my best friends (we've been friends for 20+years) kids...they're 7, 3, and 1 and super ADORABLE...and well slides are fun at any age :)

this last week here in the US will be spent with friends...so there will be more pics of kids to come...

spring break

this past spring break i traveled with many people to tiomen (i'm never sure if it's tiomen or tioman, it's spelled both ways when i google it :)). the highlight of the trip...was the snorkeling, well it's really all i did. cuz the pool was small and the water was FREEZING (the water comes off the mountain), the pool chairs were nice, but there was little breeze by them so they were HOT. so i just spent the days in the ocean amazed at God's under sea creations. the fish were amazing the coral was amazing, the sea turtle and sting ray i saw were amazing...i could have stayed their forever...

some highlights of the trip.....
