Kemah Boardwalk

On July 7th to celebrate our 19th Wedding Anniversary, I took the day off from work and we went to Kemah Boardwalk for a day of fun in the sun.

The first thing we did was to ride the Boardwalk Beast, which is a large speedboat with the intention of soaking the passengers. This is the family before the ride.

This is us after riding the Boardwalk Beast. Now we are all wet and our hair is blown back. Have I really gotten that fat? Don't answer that!

Getting off the Boardwalk Beast.

The Boardwalk Beast!

After getting soaked, we decided to look around and see what else there is to do. This is Brett, Me, Jared and Ryan by an old police car.

After getting soaked on the Boardwalk Beast, Lori took Ryan and changed their clothes and Brett, Jared and I went for 3 rides on the roller coaster, the Boardwalk Bullet. It is a wood roller coaster and so it is also a very rough one. After 3 times my brains were about shaken from my head and I was ready to do something else. It was fun, but I have to admit I like the steel roller coasters better. They are fast and they do loops and such, which does not bother me like being shaken to death.
Ryan all fresh from changing his clothes and in Jail while I changed mine.

Brett & Jared joined Ryan in jail.

I went with Brett and Jared on some of the rides Ryan was not tall enough to go on and Lori took Ryan on the little train. Lori is not sure what she is going to do when Ryan is tall enough to go on all the rides.

We got back together and went on rides we can all go on. This is one that just goes-up and give a view of the area. It is also air-conditioned.

Brett, me, Ryan and Jared on the ride that lifts you up and then drop you quickly. It was one we could all go on and was fun for everyone. Everyone, that is, except for Lori. At this point in the day she did not think her stomach could take it.
Everyone is enjoying the ride.

Ryan, Brett and Jared in the submarine ride. It was pretty tame so Lori came along with us.

Doing the drop ride one more time.

Jared, me and Brett hanging upside down on the Inverter. Ryan was mad he was too short to go on this one and Lori was very happy to stay with him.

Nineteenth Wedding Anniversary

Today Lori and I celebrate 19 years of wedded bliss. Since Lori was barely 19 when we got married, she has now been married as long as she was not. It does not seem that it has been that long as I look back on the best decision I have ever made. I am even more in love with Lori now than the day we got married.

In the interested of reminiscing, I thought I would share some photos from our wedding.


This is Lori's Bridal Picture. She was hottie!


This is our wedding announcement. It is probably hard to see in the blog, but you get the idea.

This is the announcement of our wedding that was in the newspaper.

Lori and I on the pedestal in front of the temple on a hot July morning back in 1989. We got married in the Salt Lake Temple at 9:50 am and the sealer was Joseph Floyd Stoker.

Me helping my lovely bride down the stairs of the temple so she does not trip.
