Buy Me Some Peanuts and Crackerjack, and while you are at it, a Hot Dog, PLEEEEAAASE!

This summer we played a lot of baseball. Needless to say, as a result of much begging, we spent a lot of money at the concessions stand. But, I digress.

It all started in April when E was put on the Angels' team. Things started slowly...after 3 games, the Angels had 3 losses. But, after that, each game saw improvement. They started to actually make plays and get hits! By the end of the regular season, the Angels took 1st place (trophy #1). They had a small, single-elimination tournament and the Angels took 1st place again (trophy #2). Finally, there was one final game to go...The All Star Game. The best players from all the teams were chosen and divided between 2 teams that would play one 7 inning game . . .

Trophy #3


(celebrating with shakes)

Congratulations E...my little all star!
*sniff*sniff* they grow so fast.

Intro to Summer Vaycay

O and my sign from last year put to good use again this year

welcoming all the school children to Summer Vacation:

Then, we quickly went south to warmer weather:

our favorite sand dunes in Snow Canyon.

E doing a back flip:

We took the new boat along:

Quail Creek Reservoir.

E & C took a spin on the tube. It was hard to tell if they were crying out of fear or fun.

I love the color of this water!

E's feet:

good times.

Happiest Place on Earth: part 3 the beach

The building behind me is our hotel. We stayed on the 9th floor. After taking this picture, O and I headed back to our hotel room. While we were there, the room started to sway as if we were on Pineview Reservoir. EARTHQUAKE! It lasted for less than a minute and nothing came crashing down, but wow, was it an eery feeling.

Happiest Place on Earth: part deux

It's a small world, isn't it?

Loved California Adventure!

(can you spot me...It wasn't especially warm and I didn't want to get wet.)

The Happiest Place on Earth, part 1

(Whomever invented the the Disneyland "Fast Pass" was a genius and I hope they were given a bonus that would make Bernie Madoff blush. )

Bye Bye Boatie

HELLO GORGEOUS! With spring around the corner, the CFO has started to shift gears from skiing on snow to skiing on water. What has resulted is his decision to sell the boat and buy another one. The Four Winns was a good vessel....she shall be missed.



maybe.
