This is How She Plays
Isn't technology amazing! This is how Mariah learns a lot of her new songs for piano. Pretty impressive way to learn.
Comparing the Winnings
Well it was a weekend of winning for the Law's. Here is Bo with his GoPro and here is Dave with his winnings from the Quade Bowen Fundraiser. When they announced that Dave had won a Zombie Knife, we thought they were joking. When he went to pick it up, we decided that there was certainly no other use for this knife than to kill zombies! It is huge and sharp and so heavy. Needless to say it went up in the china cabinet with the knives that grandpa and grandma Law brought home from Argentina. We are thinking that Cado is going to like this Zombie knife much better. Dave also wonder an elk book and an elk belt pack. Those things should come in handy for him as well. ha ha
Bo's Successful USU Night
Bo loves USU Uintah Basin's Casino night and he came to play and win this year. He did not even take the time to eat. It all paid off when he was able to use his earnings to outbid any other player for this GoPro. He was one happy poker player.
Carnival Talent Show
Being a part of the Carnival Cruise Ship talent show has never entered our minds in years past. But, with Soren on board this all changed. He auditioned to sing a Josh Groban song all in Italian. That boy went on stage with some great performers and knocked it out of the park. Some in the audience even asked if he could sing more. When the cruise director interviewed him afterwards, I think he was even more surprised that Soren was a 16 year old, organic farmer from Wyoming.
Editing the Ship
After a week of feeling DeeAnne's agony as we passed these naked ladies, Joyce and I decided that we would just go by and edit them! DeeAnne didn't really laugh, but by this time I think Soren thought he had some pretty funny aunts. Brian took the pictures and he thought is was pretty humorous too!
Ship Days
Dad was so cute. He said he had spent a long time looking all over for Rook cards to take on the ship. We played several hours of Rook on our ship days. I think it is dad's favorite card game. Why....because he always wins!
Puerta Vallarta
We had a blast in Puerta Vallarta. We're getting smarter as the years go by. We got a van that took us all around the city all day long. It was air conditioned and safe and we got to go a lot of places.
Of course he took us to the typical tourist stops. We are not even sure what we were supposed to be looking at at this stop, but quite conveniently, some iguana people came by and we were instantly in the tourist trap of "Hold the iguana and then give us a tip."
We didn't add any extra tips for the extra little green guy they put on us, but I have not problems holding iguanas.
We stopped at some beautiful falls as we drove in the country.
We passed a really cute kindergarten. It just looked like everything I would expect a Mexican kindergarten class would look like. I especially liked the cute colored tires in the play yard.
We visited the tequila factory. The tequila man said he loved his job because he got to drink all of the tequila that we chose NOT to drink.
We went and saw this amazing cliff diver. He really was amazing. He even told us that he had been in a movie. I can't remember what it was, but he was proud of that tidbit.
We even broke down and told dad that we were hungry. We really don't dare say this kind of stuff when we are off the ship, but we think dad was hungry too. He did not complain and he even volunteered to pay for it!
At the local beach we were entertained by the guy gutting the fish.
And we were even more entertained by the birds eating the fish heads. This male bird was trying to protect his area and he even made Brian a little nervous.
DeeAnne wanted some Mexican candy so we went to a candy story and the flea market nearby.
DeeAnne knew that Marion was going to be very happy with her find.
