Elephant Nightmare

“Don’t move or make a sound so you don’t get trampled by the elephant” was the only thought going through my head as I was awoken from my sleep in what I believed could have been the my last moments.

Disappearing Plunge

I saw Matt jump in the middle of the giant rock he was standing on, and then disappear into it. I had no idea where he went. He didn’t jump off. He didn’t land. But just submerged into the rock. Completely vanished.

Dawayne’s Fire

Sitting around a fire with people I love is one of my favorite activities. This was one classic summer vacation activity that I wanted to share with the kids. As I walked to the fire, Dawayne came with me.

Bagel Hike

Of all the things to know about me, the fact that bagels, pizza, and pasta are my favorite foods is one of the most important. I am a Jersey boy and that is how we are trained. Arkansas is not the best place to find any of those things, so when I’m planning to travel I will start searching for great places to get my fix a few weeks ahead of time.

Dipping in Buffalo Bay

Our spring break trip in South Africa included visiting an elephant sanctuary, riding ostriches, exploring underground caves, ziplining through a forest, and jumping off the highest bungee bridge in the world. However, one of the moments that remains most vivid, even nine years later, took place late one evening on a quiet beach.
