Where in the World Has Ben Been?

Ben's new job has him traveling quite a bit.  In the last 2 months he's been to Mexico, California, Orlando twice, D.C. Vegas, Boston.  He also went to Washington with Reyn for her spring break.  He's a busy boy.

Florida Birthday Trip

Ben was going to be in Florida for work over my birthday, so he invited Qyntn and I to go with him.  His flight and hotel were paid for which made it much more affordable.  We went a few days early so that Ben could come to some parks with us.  The three of us went to Busch Gardens and Sea World.  While Ben was working, Q and I spent a day at Disney World.  We crammed in all four parks in one day.  I loved spending the day with Q, but it was a rough day.   The lines were incredibly long and several rides shut down.  The only ride Qyntn really wanted to ride was Tron and it broke down as we were almost to the front of the line.  I felt so bad.  We walked around 26 miles over the duration of the trip.  It was a nice way to celebrate my birthday.  I especially loved the warm weather and sitting by the pool.  The boys loved the roller coasters.  

There were kangaroos at Busch Gardens

The penguins at Sea World are so cool!

It was our first time on a standing coaster

Mako was their favorite ride!

I love to see these two together

Meta Glasses

For my 51st birthday, Ben got me some Meta Glasses.  They are so cool!  I can just look at something and say, hey meta, take a picture and it does!  I can ask Meta questions and it answers.  I can video record and listen to my podcasts and take my phone calls all on my glasses.  They double as sun glasses too, they darken when I go into the sun.  When I opened them, I had never heard of meta glasses, so I don't think I gave the appropriate response.  I didn't realize what an amazing gift they were.  Thanks Ben!

 

New Venture

We've been saving our pennies to start a business venture in Puerto Vallarta.  When we go there, we don't fit into one car, so we have to rent 2 vehicles to get around.  We decided to buy a passenger van that we will use when we go there, and we'll rent it out the rest of the year.  We'll see how it goes.  Starting out small, but who knows, maybe it will grow and thrive.

Basketball Season

This year Q played on multiple basketball teams, all coached by Ben.  They had another amazing season.  They went undefeated in the Salt Lake Bantam League, but lost in the semi-final (because half of our players were out of town for baseball.)  In the Utah County bantam league they had a great season, but also lost in the semi-final.  

Qyntn's handles have improved, his defense is great, we just need to work on his shooting.  It will come.  He's playing club ball in the off season.

Ben was a phenomenal coach!  Love my ballers.
