Thanks to Lynn, Suresh is now jamming on the guitar.

Will he be a rocker like his Uncle Roger, or a little bit of country ?

ARRG Maties ! Suresh Goes Sailing !

As many of you know, Rick is quite the sailor. Well, he is busy passing it along to Suresh....who is a natural. We sailed to Blackstone Bay last week with our friends, Libby and Todd.

The first day was sunny and unbelievably wonderful. The glaciers were gorgeous and Suresh even got to lick some glacier ice !

Suresh is a born adventurer, for sure. The second day was not so sunny.....actually a bit of gale. There wasn't a tear from his eyes.

Dinner with the Natvisky's....

Thought I would share this evening as one giant slideshow! Enjoy!

Suresh Bikes to Seward....

Lynn here, so this is actually from my blog....but there were some good photos of tanya and rick so I thought I would post it here as well! Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer!! VLP

We could not have asked for a better weekend for this years
Ride for Life.
Ride for Life is a two day bike tour from Anchorage to Seward
to help raise money for colon cancer screening....
It's an event that attracts a variety of riders - from experienced to inexperienced, from the young to the youngest....

It was a pleasure to assist Larry Holman, cancer survivor, and the back bone of Ride for Life over the summer
to coordinate this event.....

Weeks prior to the event the weather had been cold and rainy....
my biggest fear was to host an event
where everyone became hypothermic!
Our morning was a bit overcast, but as the riders moved forward the clouds lifted and the sun warmed us up!

Rick, Tanya and Suresh make their way down the arm....

Of course for me it was an interesting experience being on the "other side" of an athletic event....And I have to say, I enjoyed it 1,000 times more than I ever thought I would. It was just amazing to see people pushing themselves to their limits, to see the support offered by friends, relatives and volunteers. It was amazing to see folks cross the finish line in Seward with huge smiles on their faces...to me that is when I knew the event was a success.

A HUGE thank you to all the folks who volunteered their time and energy to helping making Ride for Life such a success!
