Steven gets the all clear


My little brother was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer about a month ago and he had the whole family worried. After a number of tests and an emergency operation to remove a number of tumors he was given the all clear! He still has to go for monthly scans and fortnightly blood tests for a while but the cancer has not spread, which is the main thing!

Back to Mohave we go

Last weekend, Jason & I and some friends drove back to Lake Mohave for a camping weekend. We left Friday lunchtime and eventually made it to the Lake. We were aiming to get to the lake by about 5pm so we could set up our camping gear in the light but we hit a few bumps on the way. After a flat tire, a blown tire, running out of gas 10ft from the pump, things flying away & traffic we finally arrived at about 10pm. We had to set up in the dark, but we managed it fine because the moon was so bright.
Jason hitting the wake and jumping over 6ft in the air. When he landed he hit the water wrong & is now on crutches with a torn MCL.

Jason hitting the wake and jumping. He landed this one with style.

The cove we set up camp in. We put our tents on the beach.

Sunset at 7.20pm on Saturday evening. Jason, Sean & I were out wakeboarding when the sun set. It was the best time to go boarding because the water was so calm & had glassed off.

This is me... but its taken without a zoom so you can hardly tell it is actually me!

Natalie & Jesi on the tube.
We had a great time driving around trying to knock them off.

Next up on the tube was Ryan & Issac... they didn't have as much room as the girls but it was absolutely hilarious trying to knock them off.

Our tent is the Log Cabin on the left of the photo!

He went to try to find an anchor that had come away from its rope.
