Loaded for Bear

Here's the great wannabe hunter! He's counting the days down until he can go with me... we just don't know what year that will be!

Daniel loves his map...can you say "Map"?

Hey, dad, I think I see a big buck!

Daniel has his "game face" on!

We are working on closing the correct eye!

For you "non-hunter" types, this is evidence we do brainwash our young early!

Our Mediterranean Vacation

We had the awesome priveledge of joining Matt's parents and his sister's family on a 12 day Mediterranean cruise! We stopped in ports in Greece, Italy and Turkey. We thought we would share some family photos with you.

The Burns Bunch girls had a great time in Salalah, Oman. Thought we'd share some of our photos with you ... in case you never get there!

Driving for hours and hours through the "Empty Quarter" we thought we were on the face of the moon. Talk about nothing!

We saw hundreds of camels along the way - including this one that wanted to get a closer look at us!

Once we got there, the scenery was spectacular!

Betsy getting sprayed by water at the "blowhole".
Other on-lookers!

The girls had Henna painted on their hands - don't worry, it's not permanent!

The girls with friends at the festival.

We hiked up to a beautiful waterfall. It was worth the rocky climb!
