It's a dirty job but somebody's gotta do it!


Scott came home from work the other day looking like this:
What on earth does he do all day?

Escaping the Minnesota cold

Scott's parents, Ian and Vicki, came down to visit us for a few days earlier this month.   We weren't very good about taking pictures but here are a few to document the trip.  I know Vicki took more on her camera.

The weather was beautiful long enough for us to enjoy one afternoon at the beach.  Only Scott and Ian were brave enough to venture out into the water, which was still a little cold.  Vicki and I were content to just sit in our chairs and read.  

Yes, Scott is wearing ranger panties.  He loves them and wears them all the time.

The next day we went to the Air Foce Armament Museum.

And one night we did a taste testing courtesy of Malcolm Gladwell's book, Blink.  We did blind tastings of Coke, Pepsi, and Walmart brand cola to see if we could correctly identify each one.  This proved to be a much harder task than we anticipated.  We also did it with Sprite, 7Up, and Sierra Mist, as well as a variety of bottled waters.  P.S. Fuji is my new favorite water.  


My favorite part of the visit was that Ian and Vicki were able to come to church on Sunday and hear Scott sing an arrangement of "Abide With Me; 'Tis Eventide" in sacrament meeting.  It was beautiful and I'm glad he had more family than just me there to enjoy it.

Thanks for coming to see us in Florida!  We hope you had a good time!

Water, Water Everywhere

A little taste of Florida for you:
