a quick trip in the sun

we just got back from a quick trip down to Arizona - Sedona, Phoenix, Tucson, and some of the best mountain biking either of us have done. back in anchorage now - it's snowing. but, snow means skiing at least! here's some pics from our trip... you can see all of the pictures at: http://picasaweb.google.com/annkuip/ArizonaJanuary2009


a trail break in Sedona - that's Rubio's son Martin sitting with us

consulting the map



that's the trail through and over those rocks...





a giant "sinkhole"


South Mountain Park - overlooking Phoenix


Sedona
Felix's buddy Rubio and Rubio's coworker who happens to race semi-pro - we ran into her on the trail in Sedona

we bought kneepads for these trails - this is White Tanks out in west Phoenix - one of the gnarliest downhills we've ever done.

Family pics 2008

and of course, we had to shower and take some pictures. we got a few good ones out of the mix...





Christmas 2008

Weather kept us in Anchorage longer than anticipated...but, we had a great time in Kodiak with Wesley once we arrived. And he enjoyed the extended days of present opening...




and, by the way, our "Rock Band" does a pretty killer Bon Jovi. That's Wesley on the vocals, his buddy Chase on the drums, and Annie on the bass guitar (of course!). When Felix is feeling vocally inspired, Wesley picks up the lead guitar. If only my internet connection would let me upload the video....

Felix's winter project

He installed wood laminate in the Kodiak house! And...it looks wonderful... :)
