Happiness is having your kids with you in a place like this

Our favorite son-in-law, Chris Debeikes with his pet gecko, Gary (as opposed to Jerry the jumping gecko, and Gary the 2nd who lost his tail when Annie pulled it off). If we ever wondered where Chris was, it was usually out on safari trailing geckos, frogs, cucarachas or other creep-crawlies).

Steady Pete, no longer Stinky, who we always made go first to see if the cable would hold.

Pete and Annie just hanging out, one of the best parts of this adventure.

Chris and Annie on day one. Notice the lily-white skin and baggy eyes.


Cassandra, always the fashion vogue. Also day one. Follow the progress of her , leathery and tanned and wrinkled skin over the next 12 days.

Who couldn't love this motley crew ?!? This Dad does for sure. And darn happy they are all here. Our joy is tempered by the empty places at the dinner table, on the boogie boards, and onb the wave runners. We truly miss, painfully miss, our other sons, Chris and Marc, and lovely daughters-in-law, Britni and Mal. Throw in our 4 magnificent grandchildren and we might never come home.
