Some more fun climbing pics




As we were walking along we saw this bird... actually this is our backyard. This bird has nested in one of our planters and has been hanging out for a few weeks. She has a few eggs underneath her. I know because i took one a cracked it open. just kidding. Maybe when they hatch we can share pictures of the baby birdies.

I guess this has become a "quarterly update" as I seem to only get on here once every three or four months. So for the audience I still have here are some more pictures. Living in Orange County, a major master planned community where everything is "perfect" we rarely get out into God's creation and truly enjoy nature. I have not even been climbing outdoors in a few years and spend most of my time on fake plastic holds inside a gym (fortunately, I even get that, thanks to my wife and both sets of parents i have a year pass).
We got away to good old Santa Barbara this weekend and were about to head out to the hills. It was far from a beautiful day as the fog kept us from the view, but regardless, it was nice to be out.
A crash pad makes a great place to sit and read.
Dang, get that boy a haircut, at least he has that good looking girl next to him.
Working on a problem.
Kelly getting into the action.
A foggy day at "Lizards Mouth."

Kelly and I got to take a little break from vicous So Cal winter and head to the Bahamas for a few days. Actually the weather was better at home but it was still beautiful and best of all it was free as it was an incentive trip from my job. We got to stay at the Atlantis hotel which is one of the top hotels in the world. It was absolutely HUGE! It basically was its own city. The hotel had numerous huge aquariums, ponds with sea turtles and hammer-head sharks. There were also waterslides that shoot you into a shark tank. Kelly and I also got to take a boat to a little island and play with Dolphins which was quite a fun experience. They also decorated for Christmas well in the Bahamas. It was a great (free) trip.

"The ship set sail from the shore that day..."

Ahhhh, dont ask cause by the look on my face, I don't have a clue.

What a nice looking Christmas tree!

Here are some more

Capital Punishment in the Bahamas.

Jaws was doing stand-up one night. He was a knee-eater...I mean slapper.
The luxurious "Royal Towers" where Kelly and I stayed and were treated like kings!

Oh right, Kelly was a queen... is a queen. (Do I still get a Christmas present?)

Sorry, even I run out of sarcasm once in a while, besides, sarcasm is a weak form of humor. I am above it.

And more

Above sarcasm... who am I kidding? I've got nothing else. Hey if you cant laugh at yourself...actually, I dont know the rest of that saying.

Goombay, our dolphin with a trainer

Whoa! This rope bridge is woobly (yeah I dont know how to spell that)

Unbelieveable, they actually feed the sharks tourist!

Oh my gosh, look at that fish! It is sooo big, it must be one of those rap guy's fish (some of my older viewers may not get that one)
