Vegas!!!

Otherwise known as Sin City. . .well, maybe for those who can manage to stay up past 11pm! Scantily clad girls everywhere (not just employees, but visitors too), hispanics handing out cards picturing naked girls, and CRAZY taxi drivers. Boy, was it good to come home. Imagine sitting in the back of a cab after having recently fractured your neck in a horrible car accident and hearing the following exchange:
Chris: Hey man, you ever hear of Nascar?
Taxi driver: You got your own Nascar driver right here.
Amy (to herself): Aaaaaaaagggggghhhhh!!!! Let me out of here!!! [begin panic attack]
Seriously, our cab driver taught young guys how to race cars. He failed a kid for not maintaining 165mph for 4 laps. It felt like he was doing 165 through Vegas. Chris said the RPMs never fell below 4.
Really, though, we had a great time!! We really enjoyed hanging out with Sarah and Pat!

More Hiking

Our very first hike with Matt and Susanne, we saw this lake in the distance and knew right away we were going to have to plan another hike. This hike was very challenging, but well worth it! It could not have been a more perfect day. Oh, Matt and Susanne got a kick out of my birthday present!

Reeling in a big one!

Unhooking it.

Fishy kisses.

Susanne somehow managed to capture this picture after the little fishy leapt out of Chris' hands and towards my puckered lips. Luckily, he avoided the rocks, and my lips, and landed safely in the water.

This is my favorite picture from the trip.

We had a catch and release program. Most of the fish survived, while some suffered massive head trauma. This one survived. . .I think.


This rock was so comfortable.



This was part of the hike back to the truck. Very steep!

Somebody was tired. And we still had to make the trip back to the truck.

It's finally ripe!!

And almost too pretty to eat.

(I must give credit to Chris for taking this amazing picture.)

I'm a Slacker

Haven't posted anything in a while, so I thought I'd just share some of my favorite pictures from the past few weeks. Enjoy!!
