I could use a little fuel myself…
On Saturday we took the kids to the Phx Zoo to see a Zoo Member Preview of the new Komodo Dragon exhibit. Merek is a reptile freak, so we knew he would love it. I put together a Quick Take (my seventh) on the visit.
I’ve included some pictures in an album here as well. Click on the "View Full Album" link and hit "Slide show" Enjoy.
The gateway to the holiday season has come and gone, so here are some of our pictures.
During pumpkin carving, Crystal made gourmet (and messy) caramel apples to get us in the spirit. The kids also got an impromptu fireworks show off of our patio roof. Someone was putting on a show north of us. No pics of the fireworks, though.
Speaking of pumpkins, carving cool pumpkins is becoming our thing, so here are the notables this year. For last years, check out this post on my main blog. Enjoy the Jack-O-Lanterns from the Williams’ this year.

First up for the pumpkin fashion show is Trey’s Sun Devil homage of Sparky + the ASU logo (two for one!) |
Next up is Merek’s dragon. Fierce looking, for sure. |

Finally, we have Cayman’s Werewolf. Scary…very scary. |
Last month my wife, Crystal, and I took a whirlwind vacation with some of our extended family to several great diving destinations including Cayman, Roatan, Belize, Cozumel and Ft. Lauderdale. I’ve got a lot of video footage and some still photos from the trip, so I put together a little sample from Grand Cayman. More to follow.
We dove with Casey from Neptune Divers and it was fabulous. No big animals on our two dives this time, but the terrain on the wall was amazing, and the life around the wreck and reef we did on the second dive was fantastic. My sister, Brenda, shown here in this video a few times, was on her first dive as a certified scuba diver (see her using her arms? :)). Her husband, David, is featured here too, along with Crystal and I.
I’ll also have a review/recap of our trip shortly. For now, here is a quick view into the underwater world of Grand Cayman, featuring their world class wall that dives into the abyss just off shore. Enjoy.
