I truly enjoyed meeting the team at Bluehouse skis. Shane snagged a picture of me that isn’t all that bad–compared to many others I’ve posed for ;-). It’s fun to assist in “marketing” a cool product produced by cool guys.Best of luck to the team at Bluehouse. Very cool use of bamboo in skis. Let’s hook up at Snowbird this winter!
Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma, Momma…do you get the point?
If watching 4 minutes of whining and crying becomes too taxing for you, then you can feel comforted by the fact that I did not tape the entire 30 minutes of whining and crying that began from the time I forced Abby from “my” bed to the shower until she was ready to go downstairs for some breakfast after getting ready for church as demonstrated in the movie.
This is a typical day with Abby if her needs are not met in the manner that she deems appropriate by none other than “Momma.”
Michelle sent these pictures of her son Jake over this morning. It was his crazy hair day at Jake’s school. Too good not to post.
Loved it Jake!
Today is “CRAZY” hair day at school for Jake. He wanted to do his hair like ?Brian’s or like his friend Chase. Who by the way, had a real MOHAWK compliments of his mom. We made a comprimise that ended up looking like a cross between a mohawk and Ace Ventura. Jake seemed pleased and happy!

Our next port was Curacao. It is just 15 miles North of Venezuela, we were told, although I have read that it is actually 35 miles North. Maybe it’s Aruba that is 15 miles North. One of them is! This is also a Dutch island, as seen from the architecture throughout the island.
The people claim descent from over 50 different ethnic backgrounds, and the native language, Papiamentu, is a creole mixture of Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, English, French, African, and some Arawak Indian. Our taxi driver told us that. It is also a very affluent island from it’s oil industry.
Our shore excursion took us on an early boat ride to van der Valk Beach where we lounged and explored. We did not have our complimentary beverage, however, because it was only punch. Who wants punch? A diet coke would have worked for me.
Three hours later we were transported back to the ship, had a shower and lunch, and shopped in Curacao…after wandering about wondering where the shops were and hiring a taxi that took us the long way around in order to make more money, only to realize when we got there that we had been across the bay from the shops but didn’t know it because the bridge was up…Aargh. I guess it helps to read the ship’s instructions about the port… :-).
Our first port, Aruba. Beautiful turquoise waters, white sandy beaches. A hurricane had touched down the Saturday before we arrived, which was Tuesday, so the waters were a bit murky. But the weather was lovely and hot, the water was warm, and the snorkeling was memorable at Arashi Reef and by the sunken WWII ghost ship, the Antilla. We had lunch at Pelican Pier on Palm Beach and explored the beach before the Catamaran took us back to our ship for an afternoon of shopping at the “Duty Free” shops on shore. Of all the islands we visited, Aruba (independent nation of the Netherlands) had the fanciest cars.
