Manatee Area
Dinka got her scuba certification!
The springs are 72 degrees year-round, so that brings the manatees in the winter -- and us too -- although we are in 5 mil wetsuits and Dinka is sporting her spiderman hood...
We stayed right on Crystal River, with the dive shop and dock just steps from our room -- oh, and a little dockside pub too...
And, of course, we swam with Manatees!
Lots more shots of Dinka

CHRISTMAS PARTIES AT 24 ALDEN
The annual tree decorating at Keven and Fran's as usual
was nice and very christmasy, then turned a bit wild,
(although nothing can match the event of 2004)...
Then the annual Christmas party brought some fun people...
and an elf...
and some interesting new dance moves...
Here's the rest of what I found on my little Casio next day
(teach me to leave it laying around!) =====> Xmas Party Pix

THANKSGIVING IN BOSTON
Mom and Dad in St Louis would be proud of Ali's first Thanksgiving
as hostess -- (And Sarah and Yoey might not believe it!)
Everybody helped out...
The amazing apple-torture machine...
With a drum roll, the Turkey is presented...
...and finally we feast!
Murphy was the center of attention...
whether we liked it or not.
