Cooler Crew Pictures

HERE HE IS :

CREEEPY GUY

Aghhhh run away run away :wink:

BWAHH!

HA!

I didn't say that... he was a nice guy to me...

It's a little fuzzy - but here is my N.Y.E photo. Its my best friend Gina, our guitar player friend Zach (his band hosted NYE) and me. It was a Pirate's Ball, and I was a wench. It's good to play a part you know first hand!

hehe...

I played a drunk guy, on NYE.

:cool:

Thankfully, I dont think I drunk dialed or e-mailed anybody this time around...

Looks like a fun time. You guys look great!

Ok, here some of the Norway pics I have. These were taken with a disposable camera and have since been scanned so I'm sorry about the quality. We didn't want to take chances with good cameras being were in sub zero conditions and were dragging all our gear across an entire glacier. Plus I was a PFC in the army at that time and I didn't have a whole lot of money to spend on me let alone a camera lol.

We spent 3 weeks between the Norge Home Guard school in Dombas and skiing on the Hardangerjøkulen and Døverfeld glaciers for a winter warfare school with Norways training officers.

Hardangerjøkulen is the 6th largest glacier in Norge and was one of the main areas they shot the opening scenes of The Empire Strikes back in back in the day.

The three weeks while fun and unforgetable was one of the hardest things I had ever done up to that point. The people of that country are wonderful too. Some of the kindest I met during the 3 years we lived in Europe.

Here's a shot of us on cognac night with the officers. Fun fun fun all around.

Here's a shot of them dropping us off about 45K from the school. We had 3 days to move back to the school on skis in two 8 man teams without being detected and or killed by the entire Norge Homeguard reserve unit that was out to kill us.

COLD COLD COLD.

However, I will say we were lucky on timing. Nothing says beautiful like being able to see the Hail Bop comet in the still of the night in a place like Norway. No lights, nothing but open beautiful sky.

Heres a few more of me and some of my buddies along for the freeze fest.

I think this is the last one I have scanned at least. It's just a shot of our snowcaves from the outside. This was in the middle of construction.

Bella is growing so fast.

We saw your Christmas card at my grandpa's. We couldn't believe how big she was!

She is already in size 3t clothes and growing fast :ooh:

and here's lil' Digger Dom

he's in 3T and is a couple months older than Bella

They grow so fast! Remember the RHB @ Phalen????

Diggin Daughter was so big - she had to have someone tie her boots - but she was out there diggin' and at all the events

She has planned her vacation times for the hunt and is looking forward to seeing everyone again.... new pic of her and lil' digger Dom forthcoming...

I feel like the time has been flying by as it is, but I see those two little cuties and am reminded even more how time seems to be going by so quickly.

Bell + Dom = Beautiful Future

She will probably be so sick of this small town by the time she gets done with HS that she will move back to ST. Paul :grin:

Growing up so fast eh?

R U 2 RELATED??

TMK's Grampa lives across the street from Dawgs parents and where she grew up so they are old family friends.
