Home Leave: 8,200 Feet

Jim's photobomb.

Today was the Ripley-Dillon-Schlink Christmas celebration. We grilled steak, drank beer, watched 007 movies, opened presents and took a family hike to ward off a family-wide food coma. It’s our tradition. Deets and Jim took charge completely ignoring the chafing wind and his dripping snot. Mark was sweet enough to bring his camera along. He’s been honing his craft (along with playing copious amounts of World Soccer Manager) to pass the time during home leave.
