Little Boy is a deep thinker. Big Boy is pondering his book.

Camping Trip - July 20th - 22nd

Shelbie sitting by the fire, which we almost didn't have.

Who goes camping and has to buy the fire wood at the local gas station?

My little speed demon, she's yelling go faster as I am

closing my eyes and holding on for dear life.

It's too bad you can't see me being pulled behind the tube,

again holding on for dear life - mooning the lake.

Who would've thought that being towed in the water would cause bathing suit bottoms to slide off?

It took me 15 minutes to get my feet in the x-large bindings.

Apparently they need to make a line of bindings for the sasquatches of the world.

I was just about exhausted after getting my feet in the bindings but I still managed to get up and ride.

What a feeling...

And then... the fun stopped.

Hey look, it's a man powered boat.

The boat didn't even make it a weekend

before it was sent back to the shop.

Poor Granty...

Wedding!

Honeymoon

Cabo San Lucas

Cabo was a lot of fun, that was the only port that we were able to roam around doing our own thing. Grant and I hung out at Cabo Wabo in hopes that we would catch Sammy Hagar there at the bar. Then we rented an extremely dangerous moped and drove around town, after having two of the best margarita's we've ever had.

The sign was right... they were damn good!!

Dos mas, por favor!!

That baby lion wanted to go home with me. You like how I allowed Grant to hold the lions foot?

Haha, my lion!!

We met some great people on the cruise... then there was a lady on the cruise that I should've thrown over board!! The chick in the picture on the very right attacked me in the hot tub. She's lucky that Grant pulled me out of the hot tub or she would've gotten the Bobbie Beat Down!!

The other couples in the hot tub were really great people, Cynthia and Wes (San Fran) on the left and Mike and Sandy (Idaho) on the right. Mike and Sandy got married the same day we did.

Honeymooners

I can't even begin to tell you how great the honeymoon was. We had such a wonderful time. We were well fed, spolied rotten and we spent 7 days drinking Bloody Mary's and Margarita's. It was awesome.



The ship was enourmous... a huge sity on water. The coolest ever.

Puerta Vallarta




This is a 4 month old donkey that bit Grant, who knew that donkey's like Gringos??







Our first port was Puerta Vallarta where we went on our "Extreme Canopy Adventure".
We took a little boat for a half an hour to a little town near Puerta Vallarta. Then we hopped in the back of these rickety 4x4 trucks and drove through the ghetto for another half an hour. We arrived at the Canopy Adventure place where they harnessed us up and we then proceeded over to the mule corrals. We all got on the back of our mules and they hiked us up from 800 ft. to over 2200 ft. elevation. From there we hiked a little bit to the top of this cliff... they strapped us to a zip line and we were released, swinging over 200 feet off the ground. It was unbelievable!! We spent hours flying from tree to tree and even decended right into a pool of water. We also reprelled 100 feet down a wet slippery rock. It was such a cool experience.


Mazatlan

Our second port was at Mazatlan where we took an all day deep sea fishing trip. The trip started out pretty rocky, by a half an hour out to see I was turning pretty green. Grant however was having the time of his life. He caught a 6 foot Sailfish and was grinning ear to ear the entire day.

Meet Grant's Sailfish... in about 2 months this fish will be hanging on our wall - in the garage. Grant had his fish mounted!!


This would be his second best catch of his life, me being the first of course!!

And... this would be my Bonita that I caught. I don't think the Deckhand was too thrilled when I pulled my fish out of the bait bucket.


Grant's fish is on the far left, an 8 foot Marlin in the middle and my whopper on the right.

Party Time

The Party begins....

The groomsmen walked in pimpin', it was the perfect song for them. My bridesmaid strutted their stuff to "Don't cha", it was quite the hit.

Grant and I were supposed to walk in to Johnny Cash's, "Walk the line" but our wonderful DJ screwed it up. Se we also got to walk in to "Don't Cha".

Our first dance as husband and wife. We chose "Had me at Hello" by Kenny Chesney. We chose that song because it fit us so well.
And the party begins...

The "I Do's"

I was so honored to have both my mom and dad walk me down the isle. I know it meant the world to both of them, I could see it in their eyes.






The new and improved Mr. and Mrs. Clouse!!

Traveling in style

Oh, my little princess... she was absolutely the prettiest little flower girl ever.

Thanks to our wonderful friends, Butch and Mary we rode in style from the hotel to the wedding. I couldn't transport my beautiful bridesmaids any other way... they deserved only the best.
