Weekend Aquatic 2008

Our ever inspiring and dear friends TEAM TWEDT took us out on their boat for our third annual San Juan boat trip. As usual it was a total blast. Make sure your speakers are on because friends crazy enough to take seven kids (ten total), their gimpy father and their crazy redheaded mother out on their boat (and invite us back!) deserve nothing less than the Zissou soundtrack...

Juliet is waiting for her sea legs to change back into her land legs.

She was just a baby our last trip. We just sit here...And keep this handy dandy little babysitter device nearby...And they have total freedom...(Well, there's always zoom.)

Captain Tom is always up to something exciting! Always "tying strings".

Gimpy Daddy perked right up!BedheadStill haven't spotted that Jaguar Shark...Momma and The Littles go for a little hike up the island. Turtle thinks he runs so fast!
Not so much. (Juliet is walking, and gaining on him...)

Tom and Becky, after all these years you still both inspire us. Thank you for loving us, and for being such an example of true hospitality. Your friendship, love and salsa have warmed more hearts than you'll probably ever know. Thank you! We love you!
