San Diego Vball 2007

Loren and I went down to San Diego this past weekend for a volleyball get-together. The tournament was pretty competitive with about 30 teams entered. Our team of Loren, myself, Brian F., and Jason F. made it to the semi-finals!! My sister, brother, and cousin also competed as a team and some of these pics are of them. The beach was a gorgeous 78 degrees, just warm enough to make the water call your name after a game!! Anyone looking for a weekend in paradise should look no further than Southern CA!!!

Loren and I went shooting out in the desert recently and had a blast pretending we were police officers pursuing very small, inanimate suspects.

Kevin and Jess didnt think it was warm enough to get in the pool!! (neither did I!)
