Orlando - Underwater Photos

We bought a couple underwater disposable cameras during the trip to Orlando. It has been so long since I used a camera with no zoom! They are the best quality, but you get the idea.

Trip to Orlando

We headed to Orlando, Florida this past weekend for Chris' last Club Trip with his current group at work. We stayed at the Portofino Hotel at Universal, but didn't go to any of those parks. Instead, we headed over to Discovery Cove on Saturday. It was fun and relaxing. We swam in the salt water tropical reef with lots of colorful fish and huge stingrays that were everywhere! We also got in the small pool of stingrays and Chris feed a few. They had some really neat birds and a lazy river. It was a neat place. You could swim with dolphins, but we skipped that and instead went down into the shark aquarium at Seaworld the next day. That was a very fun experienc as well!

DOGS

Okay, I know I am a dork for doing this, but I think they turned out pretty good considering. I always wanted to get portraits of the dogs and Chris thought I was crazy, so I did my own version at home. I tried to do them in the black and white mode so there was a slight delay, which made it kind of difficult. Also, I had them sitting on top of our kitchen table. However, I think I got some good photos!

Trip To Breckenridge

Chris had some co-workers come out for a trip to Breckenridge. We said at an awesome house that was just a couple of blocks off Main Street. It was a great house and a great location. It would be perfect for a Horne Family Trip to the West (hint, hint)! We did some skiing at Keystone and Loveland. On Valentines, Chris and I took a day off and hung out in town. It was nice to walk around with no agenda for a day!

New Fence and Other Things!

First is some photos of the dogs...they really like each other and our couch! Also, I went skiing with Melisa at A-Basin last weekend. We had a very fun time, but I wasn't feeling too good at lunch and figured out the next day I had a touch of the flu. There was 7 of us out of work Monday, which is over half my office. Not fun!

I am feeling much better and it was just in time for the arrival and Chris and his mother. We also have another lab around the house now, Levi! I am glad we go the new fence done in time for this. The fence turned out great and the backyard looks so different!

War Eagle!

We had a great time in Arizona and the whole weekend was perfect...just like Auburn's season! The game was great and it was so much fun catching up with good friends!

Also, Ms. Slaughter brought me one of her "vintage" vests during Christmas. She wanted to make sure that we took it to the game. I told her it was a little "mature" for me, but we had a fun time with the vest while we were in Arizona!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Mama Slaughter came out to visit for the holidays. We had a really fun time cooking and hanging out at the house. We went to the Dollar Store and spent $5 on each other. This might be a new tradition! We went to see Little Fockers on Christmas Day, which was very funny. We also watched The Proposal at home on our instant Netflix. I have never heard Chris laugh so hard at a romantic comedy! We also visited the Butterfly Pavillion, which is a neat experience. Chris and I let a tranchila walk across our hand! It felt like Q-Tips. The butterfly room was full of pretty, tropical flowers and so many butterflies! They were all sizes and colors.

On New Year's Eve, we hosted a dinner party at our house. We cooked all day on Friday, but pulled it off. Everyone had a really fun time and it was nice being inside the house since it was below zero outside! Chris even wrote a song to the tune of Margaritaville and sang it with the help from out neighbors John and Chris! We also set up an area for funny photos...look and you will understand!
