Wave! You're on a Waverunner!

We got to help Grandpa launch his waverunner into the lake for the first time.   For a minute Jack thought he was going to get to ride it by himself!  Maybe in 10 years...!

Later, Jack and I went out into Lake Michigan and into Muskegon Lake and took a "selfie" in front of the Milwaukee Clipper! Once a ferry now reduced to a tourist attraction.


 

Lost Travel Video Emerges

With a lot of travel upon up for this Summer we found a lost video from a year or so ago where Jack deemed himself Elle's herder.

Hey Jack! I've Got a Secret

Elle likes telling people secrets.  Never mind that she doesn't actually have any secrets and just kind of babbles in your ear!

Funky "messed up" Pic

Shutter was open too long...but kind of made a cool effect.   Look closely and you can make out Elle's Mouse Ears!

Stephie's Pink Hair!

Steph rocked some pink hair extensions for our recent trip to LA. 

You've Got To Really Love Cows....

We were behind this self-proclaimed cow lover the other day and had to  document it!

Jack and Elle: The Ballad of The Hot Dog

The kids  enjoy the Oscar Meyer wiener song.   In fact they sometimes ask to see one of the original videos! 

Happy Father's Day!

Here is a funny Father's Day Video...

Giants Baseball

Jack and I enjoyed great seats on the first row of the third base line at a recent San Francisco Giants game.  He even scored a ball tossed to him prior to the game from one of the Giants!  To top it all off the Giants won!

Jack and his ball!

Here Jack meets "Lou Seal" 

The Giants want to claim the best record in baseball (42-21).   We'll see if they can keep it going...it's still early.

California Chrome!

Excitement was running high out here about the prospects of a Triple Crown winner from California... Although it didn't happen we're still proud of that horse!

Here, the kids enjoy the pre-race excitement aboard their own version of California Chrome...courtesy of Granny!

Arizona!

Here's a cactus flower I shot from a recent trip to Phoenix. We stayed at the Arizona Biltmore which also has the distinction of being where Bing Crosby penned White Christmas! The Reagans honeymooned here as well. It was a nice hotel with beautiful grounds.

Jack Scores a Diploma

It's now on to first grade for Jack!  He's definitely ready.

Elle's Swiming Milestone

She's built up the confidence to "swim" independently in her vest!   With swimming lessons underway she should continue to improve this summer.

Summer Kicks Off!

Jack was excited to be going to "Camp Phoenix" for his school's summer program. The theme at Elle's school is Frozen... still need a picture of that...
