Troodos Mountains! 3.10.09

Snow (round two)!

We brought better plastic and rented a sled this time!  A good time had by all.

Abby and I defeat the hill.

Hi Emma!

Hi Abby!

Darlene and Tim hike back up after showing us all how it's done.

This is called the left hip slide.

To the right...to the right...

It's all about style.

Treck back up.  Thankfully, the hill was quite small.

Tim is stoked on the plastic.

Emma and I embrace the tandem plastic.

Sister helper.

Emma's face is priceless here.  The girls LOVE the snow!!!

A successful run for Emma.

SOS...SOS...

CRASH!  It's too late.  We've sunk!

Tim and Emma take the plastic for a whirl.

Proud Daddy.  Darlene was taking pictures...proud Momma, too =).

And what would the snow be without one of my feet pictures? =)  I hope you enjoyed these.  Love Linz

Surfin' Safari 3.8.09

No, we don't just surf all the time here...

You might think we do, since it receives more blog time than other things...haha!  Darlene always does such a great job capturing the memories through the lens...thanks Darlene.

Georgia, Tim, and I are ready to hit the surf (little did we know that we were actually going to "be hit by the surf.")

The journey begins.

A little choppy and messy, but fun.

Sean makes it look easy.

Ollie Hutchinson wearing Tanner Hutchinson's old shorts and shirt - so fun.  Tanner, he absolutely loved the gift!  Surf Camp hat brought to you by the LA County Lifeguards at Zuma Beach.

Tim discovers how easy it is to catch waves on the Softop.

Georgia cruisin' back in.

Burrrrrrrr...

Kony absolutely LOVES the beach!  He digs holes, runs, and digs holes.

Another classic shot of Sean carving.

Yee Haw!  Yes, that's me attempting to ride white water on my fish.  Easier said than done.

If you crouch down, you look like you know what you're doing.  Haha!

Paddling in from a very invigorating surf session.

Ollie faithfully waiting on the shore for me to come out.

Close out!

Cool shot with the boat in the distance.  I always wonder where they are going...Greece, Turkey, Italy, Israel...

After rinsing the booties.  Of course I did cartwheels to get down to the water =).

This begins the Lindsey-Ollie 5-picture photo shoot...

Hey!

Silliness runs thick in the Hutchinson blood.

Oh, but wait, there's one more...

Shaka. Hang loose.

I hope you enjoy these blog posts...It's funny, because I actually have no idea who looks at them.  Whoever you are, I hope you had fun! Love Linz =)

Thanks Billy Blank 3.7.09

Team Taebo represented in Cyprus!

I don't know if you all remember our Taebo pictures...well, a Billy Blanks' representative contacted me through the blog to see if they could send us some t-shirts.  I wrote, but did not expect them to send them ALL the way to Cyprus.  

THEY DID!!!

We even got a signed picture of Billy Blank.  The girls were so excited!!!

Thanks to the Billy Blanks' Team Taebo - you are now represented on the island of Cyprus =)

Monastery in the Mountains 3.5.09

A fun day out!

Darlene, Sue, and I visited a monastery above a village called Peyia.  I really enjoy history, and this was a little bit of some of that...

This is a doorway of a home that was carved into the rock, as you can see below.

A young monk lived here in the 1100's - he died at the young age of 18.

Sue and Darlene - such incredible women of God.

Here's a better look...the outer building is newer, but you can see tiny doors above where this young man must have had other rooms.

How could I let a photo op like this pass me by...any excuse for a bit of good fun (I'm starting to sound British =P)

Self-portrait...because I can.

Ummm...stairs and a door - nothing special, but I felt like being artistic.

What the Monastery looks like when you walk up to it. 

Without the haze, you can see the Mediterranean Sea from here.

Good-bye...Adios...Galinichda...
