Riding a tandem bike in a skirt is challenging!

The Great Adventurers!

• My first time seeing a light house....both of our first time being in one.

Point Arena Lighthouse

• Visited the Tillamook Factory....ate a whole carton of Udderly Chocolate Ice-cream...best flavor!
•  I started my first year teaching.

First day of school....or maybe it was the second. This one is for you Mom!

• My first time swimming in the Great Salt Lake...."Look Ma! No hands" 

• My first baseball game....free game and food thanks to Hubby's deal hunting!

• We both survived my first time directing a high school production!
