Mostly Pictures

I have lots of pictures of the kids doing fun CA stuff.  I'm posting some of them now, along with other random pictures.

Including this one of my arm, sans wrappings and stitches.  Love the bruising.  Even the palm of my hand is bruised:

The girls in bonnets that my mother made:

Keith and kids at the train.  Tank and I were bummed to miss this outing.  That train is one of my favorite Bay Area stops:

The kiddos with grass in their hair.  Who knows why:

This is a picture of Felix, my nephew, who is one of the most delightful babies I've ever been around.  I couldn't resist kissing his cheeks 100 times a day:

Felix took a bath in the kitchen sink and then Dylan, who is 2 1/2 years old, wanted to take a bath in the sink, too!  Dylan is a force of nature.  And she's completely addicting.  She's a banned substance in 12 states:

Here's Tank, ready to get on the airplane that would take us to CA:

Ooh!  Ooh!  Here's an old picture of our family ready to see The Last Airbender.  We saw it together the day before the kids left for CA.  Rob and I liked it enough to watch it again in the theater, the second time in 3D (skip 3D, btw).  In this picture Miciah is Katara, and the boys are Aang:

At the Monterrey Bay Aquarium.  Who doesn't love a penguin statue?:

At the park.  The kids generally followed adults around, bugging them.  The adults humored the kids and everyone had a great time.  Here's Tank getting a "ride" from Collin as me and Katherine look on and Justin waits his turn:

A bunch of our group playing kid-friendly lawn darts.  The picture is, L to R, Katherine (Collin's fiance), Budge and Keith (my brothers), Miciah and Elijah, Megan (Chad's girlfriend), and Chad (my brother).  I have a large family:

And a series of beach pictures.  What's CA without the beach?  Dea, Keith, Elijah, and Miciah playing in the waves:

Again, the addicting Dylan:

Why, Miciah?:

Keith dug out a hole for the kids to play in:

And that's all I'm posting.
