Mandalay Bay’s Foundation Room makes it easy to live it up… at least for a night.

Champion Generators hosted a great party during the vegas trade show.What an amazing company. I photographed events and their booth for the 2 days I was there.

I live to tell tales, or at least these images do!

My first round of golf…ever.

I loved it.

A perfect 85º day. Sipping iced beers, driving golf balls into 10′ deep sand traps. Missing 8′ putts. Testing out the fairway’s with our golfcarts and simply being men.

Royal Links golf course took good care of us and I really hope this becomes a tradition. Thanks to Denny Trine for making it happen. Eric, Evan and Danny are easily some of my favorite golf buddies.

(Driving is my strong point… putting I’m horrible)

(You know, just making it happen)

(This is my ball)

(Oh the life)

(Evan took home the best score)

(Eric takes a swing…into the woods… this was his worst hit of the day… he admitted it)

(Love this scene)

(Yeah, my ball was up in the middle of that haystack)

Bass Lake California. Danny Simon

2 days spent in:

74º F water.

93º F Air

Friends, power boats,House on the lake, not to mention food provided by Eric’s parents!?

I was so fortunate to be apart of this trip. Although I could only stay for 2 nights, it was a much needed get away. Heather & Eric hosted some friends for a few days and the ones that made the trek out were well taken care of.

I’m still sore from tubing and waverunning, but my mind was partially cleared of any stress… something about being in nature, being dangerous and being with likeminded brothers help me recenter focus.

I’m getting ready to do nearly the same drive again tomorrow up to Colombia County for 4th of July and a 50th Birthday party for Audrey’s uncle.

For now, here are some images that will hopefully inspire you to stop work and do some adventuring.

Also HUGE props to Denny and Mary, you need to hold parent siminars. I guess that what you did in a way… all of us will hopefully be parents someday… I just hope I can make my kids and their friends feel so at home and priviledged.
