When Lance Came To Visit!

So, Lance DID make it out to visit us for 2 weeks! We had so much fun with him here!! As soon as he flew in we headed straight for the lake to test out our new boat!! What a treat to have Matt's family and a portion of mine! Lance was a champ on the wake board!

I practiced my driving skills atop water... it's a lot harder than you think! I wasn't very good, but at least we were just cruising at this point. No one was being pulled behind me!

The next day Matt had Neil come over and detail the boat. Lance had a good time helping out!

We tried to go to the beach several times but each time the sun was being stubborn and never wanted to show it's face! So we ditched the beach and drove around showing Lance the different site here in San Diego. First we walked down town around the pier and saw all the cool ships and submarines they have on display.

Then we stopped by the beautiful San Diego Temple. Even in the cloudy clouds it was still a sight to see! And of course we pulled up and there was a wedding. They all looked so beautiful!

So, while the sun wasn't shining Matt and his buddies decided that spear fishing would be something fun and exciting for Lance to try! But I think it was harder than they expected! So they attempted to spear fish while trying to stay afloat with weight belts around their waist! Then to top everything off Matt and Lance almost got fined because they didn't have a fishing license! Come on you guys, are you serious! They were just bobbing around with sticks in their hands... no one and nothing was hurt!

Lance had a little trouble getting out there! It looked difficult. Those waves are a little crazy!!

We finally found a day to spend in the sun at the beach, so we brought along Dundee.... He's getting real good at catching his frisbee! We might just enroll him in some sort of contest!

All of us had a lot of time to chill, but mostly Lance because he was for real on vacation!

After a couple of crappy cloudy days the sun finally decided to grace us with it's presence, and for the rest of Lance's trip it stayed pretty sunny!

Hi-Ya!
