Love the chicken bush. We're glad that your doing well thus far. Ridge was wondering if Belize was like the olden days when they had wooden showers. I'm breaking the sunday no computer rule, so I must go.

Todd and Ashli,
sounds like good times in Belize. The bucket shower is giving me flashbacks of Manaus, Brazil! Keep in touch & have fun.
Todd- the # you gave me for Kelly has been disconected, do you have his email?
later Creed, Jen & Dona
Well well isn't our family technologically advanced! It is fun to see your pictures, but looks like you guys won't be showering too often, what else is new... just kidding. I miss you guys a ton. When we were in Moab we hiked up Millcreek and I thought of you guys, just wasn't the same. Love you guys,
Kell
