Cool Cousins


We put the fun in dysFUNctual!




Well, after a year of talking about it, Moe and I finally made it to the top of Gunsight-along with Sara, Mitch, Pat, Kimberly, Taylor, and Christopher. The view was beautiful from 8,342 feet!




Despite the fact that Maureen and company did not bless us with their presence, I had a fun week with the cousins. We a great time picnicking at Anthony (where we climbed Gunsight), singing karaoke, eating at "the Mexican restaurant", playing kickball and Apples to Apples, and just enjoying each other's company. Sammye and Pat claimed the top honors at bowling, but we're not sure who won kickball (we were equally bad).




Baker seems dull without the crowd, but we can do it all again next year...in Greece (the country)!

High on a Hill


That would be a location, not state of being! Challey, Laura and I had a wonderful time in Europe. We did a whirlwind tour of Germany and Austria. Some of the highlights were Rothenburg where Laura broke the heart of our good German-Italian friend, Marco (Polo), Fussen where Challey got to yoddle in the Alps (insert Sound of Music soundtrack here), and watching the EuroCup semifinals in Salzburg, "DEUSCHlaaannnd, DEUSCHLAND" in the pouring rain. Laura and I fell in love with beautiful Hallstatt, Austria, Challey and I drank a liter of beer each at the Haufbrauhause in Munich-they were bigger than our heads, and even managed to walk back to hotel on our own accord. Brodst!
