Let's Talk Turkey

Our little villa in Fethiye Turkey.  YOu can see the family on the patio eating their dinner.  We had this small private pool but also had access to 5 larger pools that we used much more.

Didn't catch anything but fun to try.

Luke thinks he really did catch a fish:  the lure was a fake fish that had Luke convinced it was real.

Turquoise Coast.  You could see clear to the bottom.  Heidi was brave and didn't let all the sea creatures keep her from diving in.

Relaxing on our private boat.  After a full day on the sea we were heading back to the port.

The sunset was famous at our beach:  Calis beach

Seth & Heidi:  Taft & Luke

A ghost town:  Greeks/Turks had a population exchange, but when the Turks got there they thought it was haunted so they abandoned the city.

Olu Deniz Beach.  The prettiest one in the area.  Heidi and Taft floating on the pink tube.

Our boat docked here for lunch.  Seth took the boys out for a quick swim before we ate.  They BBQ lunch on the boat.

In the background you can see the Fethiye Harbor and the ancient castle ruins where the flag flies.

Luke had fallen asleep on the boat ride home.  A Dad/Son discussion about the days adventures.

Family Time

Natalie:  We did get a family picture after all!  Yipee.  Dad's 62nd birthday.

Can't you just hear Tom:  "See first you wrap this around this way....."

"And then you pull it tight and choke yourself like this...."  I think Bryn and Isa were taking very good mental notes on this very unusual technique.

Two cutie pies....natural happy smiles.  Love it.

We had a few days overlap with Portugals/Stouts/Seth Herway family.  The pond is clean and it was hot.   Bryn decided it was high time to jump in and cool off.

Human fish!

Sadly Heidi and Luke had already crashed before we thought to take a picture together.  Nice halo Natalie!  By the way, I don't have a single picture of our Normandy trip, so I'll have to leave that job up to Natalie or Nicole.
