more Florida

Here are some more pics from the vacation. We were able to swim with Rays, and touch them, snorkel in a coral reef, with all kinds of exotic fish, swim with the dolphins--ours was named Capricorn. It was the best week ever. Emmaline had so much fun, as did the rest of us, but she was so happy, never complained, never cried, never whined, walked for hours on end, and was a real trooper!!

The beach was a blast. We built a sand castle, body surfed, and just had a wonderful relaxing day.

I can't wait to do it again.

Walking in the pool with the rays.

hi jules....from jarl

Yesterday we took the girls and went boating, skiing and tubing with our stake president, Pres. Stucki.  The last time I went water skiing was at como lake in MT.  It has been too long.  I am so sore today.  I think I used every muscle in my body to get up on the ski.  The kids were great!  Little Emma was so afraid of dropping off the wake.  You can see her concern on the tube in the picture.  Talk to ya later family.jarl
