Update on the head of household

Okay, by the title, this really should be about me...but it's about Doug! :) Doug is doing well. As you can see from the photo I added, he's had his share of fun. Earlier this summer he went to Florida with my brother and my sister's husband for a boys trip. They took a few days of kiteboarding lessons, snorkeled, and caught a MLB game. Doug called EVERY day to give me the recap of the trip...which usually included him telling me about all the fantastic restaurants they ate at, the wonderful weather, etc. I think the girls are due for a getaway!
This summer Doug had a conference in Banff up in Calgary. We stayed right on Lake Louise, which is the craziest color of turquoise blue I have ever seen in a lake. The lake is deep in the Rocky Mountains and surrounded by glaciers. We saw 4-5 bears while we were there. There was even a bear attack on a walking path just a short distance from the hotel. We took a beautiful 7-mile hike up to a glacier where they have a tea house. We sat and ate chocolate cake and took in the views. It was probably the most amazing scenery I have ever experienced. Doug's mom came and stayed with the kids while we went and they all had a ball at home.

Hope you don't mind that I am snooping. I have linked to your blog from Kristen's blog via Ryan's. You are looking good and I hope all is well with you and your family. I will continue to snoop if you don't mind. Grandma L doesn't have pictures in her phne conversations.
