I've been converted!

Haha... just kidding. But I did ride on the Mormon Battalion float in the parade yesterday morning. Here's a link to an article about the Mormon Battalion if you are interested http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormon_Battalion. They were the only religious unit in American military history. Anyway, the parade was super fun. We rode in a covered wagon pulled by a team of horses, and we got to throw candy at the children... err, to the children. Whichever! Did I mention that visiting Jill rocks?!?!

Zion isn't ready for this!

Today Jill and I took a trip to Zion National Park. It was gorgeous!!! Here's one of the zillion pictures I took of the scenery. It really doesn't do it justice, but it'll give you a taste of what it was like.

This picture was taken at the top of Overlook Canyon. It was a neat little hike, and the view is awesome. 

We had so much fun today, and I am so glad we got the opportunity to go. Jill is a wonderful tour guide by the way. :) More to come in the following days!

Visiting Jilly Bean!

Well, as many of you know, I'm in UTAH! I am having the time of my life with Jill as she shows me around the wild west! Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know that I made it safely... here's a picture that proves it all. I'll update again soon when I have some more pictures. Yeehaw!

Which Disney Princess Are You?

You Are Aurora! (A.K.A. Sleeping Beauty.)

Thoughtful and loving. Authority figures probably have been sheltering you all of your life. Thankfully you're a very tranquil person who is content with what life has given you, but secretly you want to know how the outside world works.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Rain Rain Go Away

For the last week or so St. Maarten has been feeling the effects of Tropical Storms Gustav and Hanna. Mostly it's been rainy and a little windier than usual. Unfortunately, Cody's parents have been visiting us all week and we had to forgo some of the fun activities that we had planned for them. We did get in one good day at the beach though, and it was absolutely beautiful. Hopefully, Ike and Josephine will pass without quite so much precipitation. :)
