Alrighty, this picture shows Brittany on our first family cruise in 2005. She stood out on our balcony pretending she was Rose from "Titanic".
Here's Abby on that same cruise playing in the surf when we docked in Labadee, Hispanoila. PURE PARADISE!
Our cruise ship, along with another one, in Labadee. Just look at that water! Wouldn't you give anything to dive right in?
Here's the girls enjoying our pool at our last house in Collierville, TN. It was the first pool we've ever had and we had the best time in it!
Shortly after we got settled in our house here in GA. 3 1/2 years ago, we took a day trip up to north GA. and went on a canoe trip. Brittany and I kept getting our canoe stuck on rocks and Abby and Chris would have to turn around and rescue us...over and over, again! It was so funny!
This is a Saguaro cactus in Sedona, AZ. We went there on a family vacation and, boy, was it ever HOT!!! I think the daytime temp. got up around 107!
About 3 summers ago, Chris and I went to Vail, CO. with his company and, one night, they had dinner at a ranch. We all had to dress up in western wear. The scenery there was just gorgeous! Look at those mountains behind us! Would you believe that I even road a mechanical bull? Yee haw! :)
Here's just one of the many beautiful flowers we saw while we were there. Not even sure what kind of flower it is, but aren't the colors vibrant?
A couple of years ago, we took our family vacation to Tuscon, AZ. We went on a horseback ride up in the Catalina Mountains. Notice the cacti to the right of Abby and her horse? Our horses, amazingly enough, knew exactly where to step in order to avoid getting pricked. It was pretty amazing...and HOT! 
I was fortunate enough to get this shot at a park we visited in Tuscon.
Here's the girls and my other "daughter", Alicia, at my mother-in-law's house last July 4th. We had such fun on the lake!

Now, keep in mind that with the arrival of warmer weather, many creatures begin waking up from their winter slumber. This is what we saw last year during a trip we took to the Great Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. I about had a coronary! Please, don't any of you tell me what a precious little critter this is! A fluffy bunny rabbit...now THAT'S precious! A snake to me spells...DISGUSTING!
So, maybe we all should enjoy this colder weather we're experiencing right now, and let some of God's little creatures rest just a little while longer. Agreed? ;)
