Here is the first batch of photos to be posted. Please keep in mind there are 71 photos on this page, and it will take a while for them to load. These photos have been reduced in size, and the entire page is about 3 megs in size. If you are on dial-up - be patient!

Some of these photos appear grainy due to their drastic size and resolution reduction (to make this page possible to load) Without reducing them, this page would be 100 megs in size and take forever for some people to download!
