DADDY DAUGHTER BALL

Tonight was Meg's Daddy Daughter Ball at school. She has been so super excited about it since the notice came home. She was very concerned when Lance broke his ribs that he would not be able to dance luckily he is doing great. There were refreshments, crafts and lots of dancing. The theme for the night was Prom and the decor was awesome. They had a great time and looked so cute.

BROKEN RIBS

About 10:30 am I received a call from Eric that Lance had been in a snowmobile accident. He didn't know how badly he was hurt and they were not going to move him but waiting for search and rescue to arrive. We may have to start paying monthly dues to these guys:)!

Lance was on his snowmobile, not going very fast when the tip of his snowmobile ski hit a buried fence post, which stopped him and he flew over the top, landing on his back on another fence post. Had he been going a bit faster he probably would have missed the post altogether.

They took him to Heber Hospital and did a lot of x-rays on him that were all coming back with nothing wrong. Lance insisted that it was something more so they did a CT on him and found 4 broken ribs and luckily that was all.

I was very nervous for the 6-8 week recovery for him and also for me and the many weeks of him being on the couch but he was great. He was down about 4 days then up and going. He is all better and will no longer be snowmobiling!!!

MEG'S IST SKI DAY

Today I(Lance) took Meg to Sundance for her 1st time skiing. We were stopped half way up the canyon while UDOT hauled off a small avalanche that had obstructed traffic. Once we got to the parking lot we suited up and headed for the rope tow. Meg let me know that she probably wouldn't be able to walk very far in "these boots", so I had to explain that it was part of skiing and she needed to practice walking in them. We took a hula hoop with us so I could keep her at a comfortable speed and ended up tossing it to the side because she didn't really need it. I have to say she did really good until she got confident and lost concentration. I'm pretty sure she is hooked though because she wants to go again. Great Job Meggy!!!

EASTERN CARIBBEAN

Lance and I just got back from a 7 day cruise to the Caribbean. He decided to book it and tell me about it about 2 weeks prior, he wanted to make it a surprise. It was the best surprise I have had in a long time. The last big vacation that we had together was almost 6 years ago to Hawaii, where I became preggo with Meg. None this time, Thank You!!!

Marchelle, my Mamma and Kee took over the girls for the 8 days we were gone. Everyone was so great to do this and all seemed to go smoothly. I don't think the girls even missed us much. Poor Kee was a bit delirious when we got home but hopefully it was some great birth control. I, Of coarse, left detailed instructions for all just in case. DON"T JUDGE, I already know I am OCD and anal. I had to keep record of it so I can remember how crazy I am!

There was about 25 people in our group. We only knew one couple to begin with, Scott and Krissi, but the whole group was so great and we had so much fun. Usually after that long being gone I am ready to come home but I can honestly say I could have stayed another week if we could have shipped the girls over to us. I am still sad about being home. What an amazing trip.
We started out by flying into Ft. Lauder dale where the airline lost our luggage. Luckily they tracked it down and we were only without it one night. The next day off to sea...


SAN JUAN

Our cabin was great and seemed a lot bigger than our last cruise. We were on the 1st floor which turned out nice because after hiking 9 flights of stairs 10 times a day it was a good workout.
We got into San Juan on Monday and mainly just wandered the town. There was not a ton to see but that night we were planning on Zip Lining, The Original Canopy Tour-La-Marquesa. This was the only thing Lance really wanted to do. I was so super nervous about flying
above the rain forest. It was so much fun, We loved it. The only drawbacks were that we did it in the dark. It made it seem more scary but we missed out on a lot of the scenery. Also Lance and I went very first of the group so no waiting and Krissi and Scott got stuck at the very end behind all the dumb, freaking out people.


The days that we were at sea were just as great and relaxing as being at the ports. The daily schedule ran about the same: Sleeping in till about 10-11. It is so dark and the boat rocks you to sleep, Love it!
Heading up to the gym. At the price of getting made fun of by Scott, Thanks!
Getting breakfast.
Laying by the pools and catching a few boat activities.
Getting ready and heading to dinner.
Playing at the casino.
Karaoke till it closes
Dance Club
Adult comedy show
Ice cream and Pizza
In bed about 2.
Lance found a new love, Karaoke! He sang Ice Ice Baby, The humpty
dance and Summer Lovin. It was great! We had the cutest little grandma that hung in the Karaoke lounge each night and joined right on in.
There was one drawback to the ship. There was at least 50 % of the ship that was 60 and older. I am all for senior citizens but they were so damn rude and slow. I also got into a fight one night with a grandpa at the comedy show, a big fight. He was pissed because I moved down one seat to make more room for our group and he wanted me to move. Had he been nice I would have but he was such a jerk that there was no way in hell my butt was going anywhere, so we duked it out. Lots of fun! He kind of eyed me the rest of the time on the ship.

The girls and I had so much fun. I am a bit upset because the boat loves to take a crap load of pictures for you so that they can charge a fortune to buy them. Krissi and I had piled all of our pictures together so that we could decide which ones to buy on the last day. Well on the last day they were gone, we think they were pissed we did it and threw them away. We had some great ones too.

MEGAN'S BAY, ST. THOMAS

Tuesday we hung out at the beach. This beach is suppose to be one of the top 10 in the world. It was really pretty. Lance chased the giant Iguanas and made friends with a great group of guys, the loved him, he had his spedo on that day!!! The rest of us layed in the sun and chatted, so perfect.

LA ROMANA-DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

ALTOS DE CHAVON ARTIST'S VILLAGE

Today we headed up to the top of La Romana. This was a super cool little village, shopping place. The scenery was amazing. We bought the girls coconut purses that are super cute. After we left there we went to Catalina Island to snorkel. It was ok. The water was murky and cold.

NASSAU, BAHAMAS

Our last stop. I wish we could have had more time in Nassau. There is so much more to do. We spent the day at Atlantis, which is amazing. I would love to go back and stay there for a week.

When we got home Meg had written us a note and hung it on the garage door. She is so damn cute.
