Just called Donna to wish her a Happy (13th) Wedding Anniversary; they’re at the beach house. Just tried to upload a .tif image of our wedding, but it generated an error. Hmm. 13th and an error. Hmm.
13th Wedding Anniversary today.

Found’em.
I had volunteered today (I’m on the Genzyme R&R Committee) to get some photos of the Bicycles Battling Cancer bike-a-thon. I found the route on the internet, and so I decided to catch up to them at a point midway through the 72-mile course. Team Genzyme IT was in good spirits despite having only completed half the course. I squeezed off a few shots of the team as they caught their breath at an “aid station.” I bid them good luck and then headed for home.
Fluke
Just got this email from Martin: Corey and I went fishing Sun and nailed a 23 inch Fluke, Yum Yum. I’ll try and send a pic.
Just in case…
Donna throws a preserver out to the kids, just in case, during their evening swim. The current in “the narrows” can sometimes take you up or down stream in a real hurry. No swimming when it’s that fast, but the kids know to swim towards the beach without panicking. We’ve had them practice this “maneuver” a few times.
Earlier in the day Christy made a nice dive off the back of uncle Jeff’s boat. Even the passing Coast Guard was impressed, and they announced a score of “9” over their loud speaker. Christy, who just helped write this post, was thrilled.
Mid-Summer Night’s Swim
Eric and Christy fling themselves off the dock at sunset.
"Dad’s the Best!"
The kids have been good (they’re always good), so I picked up Mario Kart during lunch yesterday. They were ecstatic. It’s early morning Saturday, and I expect them to come down any second for their steering wheels.
Go back…go back. Gotta get this one.
I like this shot. The lighting seems to be perfect. A very lucky shot. I’m sure I couldn’t do it again if my life depended on it. Sigh.
We were on our way back from Fort Weatherill when we passed this scene, so we had to pull a Uey (U-turn) and come back around for the shot. The kids just groaned. Why should they have to suffer through dad’s hobby. “Zip it, kids, and go back to your Nintendo DS’s.” 🙂
Bone, bone? Who’s got the bone?
Nigel enjoys a bone. It’s that simple.
The title of this post comes from a show the kids used to watch called “Clifford the Big Red Dog.” It’s a long story.
Go ahead and jump!
Eric and Christy can never keep still. The two refer to this dock, near the beach house, as “Storm-a-long Dock.” Even they have no idea where this name originated. I guess it’s not important.
Too Good to Eat
It was another fantastic Fourth of July Party at the Vermettes this year. Lots of food, and something new this year – a game called LadderBall. We have to get a set. The second annual Diving Contest was also a complete success.
