Updates and "There are no waves in Colorado!"

Here are some updates and then some pics from a recent trip to Colorado for Trevor's 20 year reunion.

Writing updates: We just finished the rough draft of our novel, "Quixotic". It is the origins story for our characters Rip and Tide. The first three chapters are off to publishers and agents. Our elite team of product research specialists (our middle school students) have given it a thumbs up.
We heard back from an agent about our latest rewrite for our action/adventure film, "Coyote", and he gave it the green light.
Please keep us in your prayers that the New Year will bring us success with our projects, and that we will be diligent on the promotional front.

Surf and Skate updates:
Trevor has finally mastered the "drop-in" at the skate board parks and is feeling more and more comfortable gliding his fish upon the emerald glass, and Danny is carving the waves like never before, performing text book bottom turns, and tucking into the curl whenever possible.

Thanks for your support.

Now to the pics...

In between seeing old friends at the Reunion, Brent and I were able to skate some sweet skateparks (no pictures) and get an epic downhill Mnt. bike ride in, and my dad and I were able to do a nice 10 mile bush hike across the mountains.

Brent, Dad, Sister, John, and Me at the start of our descent down Pikes Peak. Brent was pumped, because he was going to attempt the epic downhill on a 5 year old bike three sizes too small for him, and John was excited his wife hadn't killed him yet for making her drive down Pikes Peak alone.

Pikes Peak is impressive from any view point, but when you're riding down it--spectacular!!!

Always fun to spend time with my daughter Jordyn and sister Traci. Don't ask what that sparkling thing is in Jordyn's cheek.

Start of hike took us up massive boulder field, My dad almost killed me once on one of these, so this time I stayed above him.

Mid-hike we came across one of the many WWII plane crashes scattered across the Rockies, God Bless the Armed Forces.

The Punch Bowls above The Navigators are fun and very cold if you slip.

There might not be any waves in Colorado, but it's a great place, and full of people I love.

Have a Great Day!
