JLC's Daytona '08 ... The People

It took me forever, but I finally got all my pictures edited and uploaded and ready to share. I'm too tired to do much of an order or narration, though, so mostly I'm just gonna throw 'em down for ya. :P

Here's the PEOPLE of Daytona '08 (Well, some of them at least...I never end up with as many pictures as I wanted!)

Nate discovers a weird hole on the beach. Standing in this was like standing in quicksand...you really did just sink down into it.

It was fun... LOL

:D

Nice photos. But the slingshot ones could possibly be used as evidence against Nate and Deborah in a sanity hearing.

Great pics Jude!

Okay I just have to say this. Nate you are just too darn cute! I feel the incredible urge to mother the heck out of you.....here's $20 just in case you need to get home....did you put on clean undies in case of a car accident....eat your broccoli, I know it takes like crap, eat it anyways, it's good for you....

Okay *phew* I think I have it out of my system now! :D

Oh wait! I forgot the most important part (geesh I coulda lost my Mother's Union card for this!)

"NATHAN! What in heck were you doing up in that contraption with that woman! Don't you know you could have broken something important! I didn't bring you into this world to go galivanting around in some flying metal ball with strange french women! What will your father say about this!"

(this is known in the inner circles as Mother's Speech #407A) :D

LOL that was such a good time.

Does Tinley have a sling shot? :colbert:

Daaaangggg.....when did you guys slingshot? I can't believe I missed it! Darn LaQuinta and missing all the fun!

Ooooh, Imma tell your momma....er....Joanna!

Jo - it was LIGHTNING around that time that they did that! Karl even was fussing at the soccer players on the way to our hotel that they were still on the field during the lightning!

Sorry I missed it - would have loved to have seen that!

yeh that was one hell of a thunderhead that moved in over us...really fast too..but we didn't get rained on or anything.

edit: Judy just posted that thunderhead :D

Hehehe....yeah....if you see my thread with the storm pictures...this slingshot ride took place right after I took those pictures! It was lightning and thundering and I was really surprised they let that thing go!

LIGHTNING!!!! LIGHT-FREAKING-NING!!!!! *feels the grey hairs springing out all over her head*

"That's okay dear, you just go bouncing around in the SKY inside that METAL ball with the LIGHTNING all around you. Don't worry about your poor mother. I'm quite fine, really I am. I'll just huddle over here under a tree and pray for you and that strange french woman. Won't do my back any good but it's never been right since I carried you (this is where we insert the dissertation about how long you took to be born and how you ruined my poor body but do I mind....)."

*works up a quite credible trembling lip and a brave sniffle whilst bravely standing under a tree hoping to redirect said lightning from her online kid....but do I mind.....*

(this would be Mother's Speech #742C) :P

Like a tree is a safe place to be in a lightning storm! :rolleyes:

I want to know - who screamed louder? Nate or Deb?

LOL Joanna..i swearz i iz teh big boy :)

Shhhh Robin, it's a time honored mother trick. There's just nothing like a fried mother to make em feel a bit of guilt! :rofl:

Gawd I'm overtired and goofy tonight! Hurry up Reptile Radio before Judy smacks me for taking her lovely thread so off kilter.

LOL! I have to give props to both of them. There was not a shriek to be heard as that flimsy little ball rocketed up into the lightning filled stratosphere!

Hehe....it's fun watching you slide into "Mother Mode"!

Those pictures are great Judy!

I think it would be hard to scream when you can barely breath. No I didn't go on it, I like to keep my lunch in my belly until I am completely done with it LOL.

Great pics Judy:gj:

Can you say daredevil ;) (or completely insane whichever you think is more fitting ;) )...........the funny thing is that my husband was really insisting on me doing this that evening......go figure :rolleyes:

Well dangit! How the heck did you find your way up there. I get it... Nate just didn't want to go with me.... :tears:

Cool pics though Judy!
