Deep Sea Diving 101





Ever since Bryn and Henry saw divers in a giant tank at the Shed aquarium a couple weeks ago they have asked us more questions about the divers then about the fish they saw. Well, it was their lucky day this past weekend when they got to meet a real life diver friend of their own. Miss Kathie and Mr. Tim invited us all to see beautiful pics of all the places they have been deep sea diving and the marine life he has had the chance to swim next to, (including amazing video footage of whale sharks in the waters of Belize) and for an added bonus we made a trip to the basement and the garage to see all the diving gear he has accumulated.


Mr. Tim let them try on his flippers and gloves and showed them all the fancy equipment attached to the oxygen tanks. I'm thinking Mr. Tim should take this show on the road cause they loved it. Thank you both for the wonderful afternoon and the CD full of underwater photos you gave us to take home.




Below is Mr. Tim showing them the dry suit he uses in very cold water.



Back at Grandma and Grandpa's house the kids tried chasing butterflies and bees with their new nets while the adults worked on hanging the new hand made barn doors.















Taa daaa. We actually got the doors hung and now my dad's VW bug has an easier entrance into the barn.



It was a fun weekend to get away while Jay was busy typing up a 20- something page grad school paper.
