Pictures from the great outdoors

[charisma]

Aus is home from work this week - the doctors gave him the time off due to the migraines. He's feeling a bit better with the resting and all.

Today my mom, me, Brenda, Steve and Steve's friend Alex went to Batsto. It was a nice day to be outdoors. I've been doing pretty good with my goal of getting more exercise. I've been also trying to remember to eat more healthy foods- and now that the easter remains are finally gone, it's a bit easier.

I still haven't done half the things on my to-do list, though.
