How's the van?

I heard Jake and Mitzie's car may have been affected by the cold temperatures while they were gone? How's it going with that? Also, I am looking forward to more cruise pics making their way onto the blog.

Back Home!

Well, almost everyone is back home now..

Jack & Mitzie had vehicle trouble at the airport..
Hopefully nothing too bad..
Post those pictures,

Hello cruisers!!

Just in case you are wondering how everything is going at the homefront I thought I'd let you know. It is fine...raining , and cold. There are a million ads on TV for cheap flights to Mexico and thinking about you AMIGOS out in the sun makes me want to go really bad!! We might be gone when you get back.....Dad is coming too.....we got him a new swimsuit.

Buenas Dias from Mazatlan!

I'm just sitting waiting for everyone to get back to the ship..
Hello everyone in Canada. We are all having a blast!
Mazatlan is a nice town of about 400, 000 freindly people.
Mom and Jane are getting drunk and embarrasing the crew.
Food is really delicious on the ship. We eat too much.
Tonight we sail for Puerto Vallarta and have dinner at Pipi's.
Hope everyone is doing well. Drink much tequila.
Have not got sick yet. Went Jetboating in Cabo yesterday..
Will try to post in next day or two.
Adios.. John

Party Animal

Hey Jacqueline, Anthony, Simone, Marina and Jonah....oh and Fiona Thank you so much for hostingthe big party. It is always so crazy and great that we all get together!! Funny how I still ended up with the stinky Grillin Golf club set!! I think I will save it for Ed's work party next year....we usually do a tacky gift exchange. (btw did you notice how stinky they were??)

Thanks Jacqueline and Anthony!!

Thank you so much for hosting a great party, it was fun, relaxing, exciting (car crash) and just a real blessing to all be together.

Our camera is broken, so I have no pics, but would love to see more.....

Caption Me This..

Here's a couple..

"New Years and no one to hug.."

It was 12:00 o clock and Jake by nature
involuntarily put himself in the
"keep your hands where I can see them" pose.

We love you, Jake..

Blog makeover..

Ok, Ok.. I promise not to change things too much.
If this is ok, let me know, as some may find the
darker background easier to view text & photos..
Let's see some New Years photo's from the weekend!
~John

How's this?

In conjunction with our upcoming Mexico trip,
And Darren's request for change, the blog layout has
been changed to 'Snapshot Tequila'
