FRIDAY PHOTO FLASHBACK

I started "Friday Photo Flashback" because I have so many pictures from my PRE-digital camera days. I thought it would be fun to scan them and share them here with you. I'm having so much fun doing this, that I would love for you to join me, too! So dig out the photo albums and put your scanner to good use! Don't forget to sign in to MckLinky so we can all visit and comment on each others blogs!

Here's a couple of pictures in 1990, when my (not yet) husband, his older brother and a couple of friends went to Yosemite to climb Half Dome. You can see them all on top of the mountain, 3,000 feet high, just hanging out by the edge like it's no big deal! Ugh..that makes my stomach hurt when you see how just one wrong step will send you right over! He just told me that they shouldn't have sat there because the rocks on the edge slip and fall ALL THE TIME!

That's my husband in the white cap!

Here's a close up! Miranda looks so much like him in this picture!

    I LOVE Yosemite, but I've never understood WHY people insist on climbing Half Dome.....it is just a HUGE rock, nothing exciting at the top. I'll stick to climbing up to the falls if I ever make it back to Yosemite.

    I have some similiarly scary pictures from our visit to Crater Lake in Oregon, only my Hubby was standing at the edge with our then 4 yr old youngest son....I can't even look at the pictures they still freak me out!

    My husband likes to do that, too...sitting/standing on the edge when we hike up mountains :).

    Beautiful view! I have not been to Yosemite yet.

    Have a blessed weekend, Alicia!

    All I can say is just looking at how high up they were made me feel a little dizzy and made my stomach lurch a bit. I mean, wow....

    I never knew about this carnival. I'm glad I found it. I posted a flashback post yesterday (Thurs.) but I linked to it if that's okay. From now on when I do a flashback I'll wait till Friday!

    Okay... heights usually don't get to me at all, but looking at that last picture, my stomach is turning. And then he says he really shouldn't have been on the edge... sigh, that's enough to give a person some gray hairs!

    Oh, but is sure is PRETTY up there!

    My stomach went into knots too. My word, is that allowed? I mean what were they thinking? You could have been husbandless and childless... I mean... you have to just look at this picture and Know that God wanted you to be with him! ;)

    Yosemite is my hubby´s favorite spot!

    I had to come back here and tell you two things ~ first of all, I forgot to comment on your picture this morning and I'm so sorry! That first one gives me butterflies in my stomach - I am so scared of heights because..well...I'm sure I'll fall or slip or something (it does look really cool though!); secondly, your comment on my blog about dressing your son up in your daughter's pj's and putting a scrunchie in his hair not only cracked me up, but my husband as well - HILARIOUS!!!!! Where's THAT picture???? That's just way too funny! You have a great weekend ~ ♥
