Swimmin' at Papi's and Gammy's pool, kick, kick, kick!  Good job!!
Sunbathing in the shade at the end of the day.

Happy 25th Wedding Anniversary and MEMORIAL Day Fun!

While I was in SLC visiting Grpa/Grma we got to celebrated their 25th
wedding anniversary!!  YEAH to marriage!
Julie/Brent, Betty/Reid and I accompanied the celebrating couple to Mandrin
for some yummy chinese food!  AND we finished the evening w/ Marie Calendar's 
pie...
Memorial Day Dad and I drove down to Jerry's family's celebration.
WE wore our seat belts ALL day, HUGE crackdown about seat belts there!!
We drove past the house "us" kids lived in during 1976-77 while Dad
finished his doctorate and I started BYU...  "Big Wheel" memories?!
Jerry wanted to go on a 3 hr. hike, I vetoed it so we posed by the rushing
river instead!  SNOW water!!
YUMMY coconut cake strawberry shortcake!!!  They don't sell that cake
in Calif. yet, so HOOK me up Jerry, when you come out!!
The family shot...CHEEZ!

Thanks guys, we had a GREAT day!!!  Aloha and come to Calif. soon!!

When IN Calif...

Lately...  Michael has been LOVIN' the VW culture?!?!
He went to a VW car show and race while I was at Grpa's and some of
the cars are pretty amazing!  SO today we took off for a road trip along
the coast and I've added a couple of the cars in BECAUSE all day Michael
pointed out VW'S!!!  Love the color on this one.
Restored nicer than it was at FIRST!!?

We started today by driving to Santa Cruz and ended w/ Lombard St.
in SF.
From the top...
Driving thru the Presideo area.
ANOTHER fun car at the show...
EVEN the wheels match!
We travel around in this!
A gal named "Mama Bear" was selling tye dye and Michael has decided
we will enter a "hippie" phase since we live in CA again and need a VW
van to tour around in...  OK?
Likin' the shirt display, not a size for him...  yet!
Watching stunt kites over SF beach.
Santa Cruz board walk, foggy and cool but busy.  Taken from the wharf.
A real nice day to travel about 300 miles up the coast!
