Jason was exploring in the play room and found some of Audrey's toys and play things and decided that he needed to be Elton John!! Pretty good imitation!!
Fair Time
July is fair month and we enjoyed the visit with family on a couple of occassions. Nathan tried some new rides and Jason was not happy that he was too short to go on some of them. Everyone had a great time.
Nathan finally tried the rollercoaster and loved it and went on it several times.
"Muttin Bustin" was new at the fair this year. Kids try to ride a sheep and get the best time. Nathan got all suited up and ready to go but when the two kids before him got thrown he decided it wasn't a good idea after all and declined to go. It did get a little rough so I don't blame him.
Not a John Deere but it worked.
Jason loved this bungy jump and the higher the better.
Horses and Zebras all run together.
Nathan got into the bungy jump as well. Really soared!
Matt got Nathan to go on this ride and then Nathan liked it so much he took Matt on it three more times. By the time is was over I think Matt was a little woozy. Nathan was still going strong.
Some rides are a tight fit for the adults to accompany the kids.
Memor had a great time on some of the rides as well.
Opening day of the fair is always a fun display of fireworks. Nathan really enjoys them.
Papa and Nathan lying on the ground looking up at the fireworks.
Fourth of July
Fourth of July is always a big hit and what is a celebration without a water fight!!
Marianne's Birthday
Marianne's Birthday happened this month and it seems to happen every year. For her birthday she wanted to spend the day in San Franciso so we all boarded the ferry in Oakland and headed for Fisherman's Wharf. We had Kristin, Alli and her boyfriend Jay with his three kids Jayla, Brodie, Jaxson and Andrea, Matt, Nathan and Jason. Great day and good company.

The street vendors had everyone's attention
The kids enjoyed watching the mimes and etc.
Boudin's is a a big hit for our family and Nathan really liked the sour dough animals.
As Nathan and Jason rode their Razor scooter a group of unicyclist came by.
Going under the bridge on the ferry. Had to look at the bottom of the Bay Bridge.

Nathan and Matt on the stern of the boat. It was a little bright for Nathan.

Alcatraz Island
Good picture spot for Nathan adn Jason
Is that a police boat looking for two guys that escaped from Alcatraz?
It was a beautiful day to celebrate Memor's birthday
Alcatraz again.
Visit to Southern California
July was a fun filled month including a trip to southern California. We had never been to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and it was a wonderful experience.
Marianne by the replica of the white house. It was really cool.
Great quote from Pres. Reagan
They have an actual Air Force One in the museum part.
If the glare was missing you might have thought were were there with the President.
His burial site.
A piece of the Berlin Wall.
Another reason that we headed for Southern California was to welcome Taylor home from his Mission. It was a fun day to spend with family and of course good food.
Which one is the returned missionary. Conor on the left has really grown up while Taylor was on his mission.
Channing, Taylor, George, Lorelle and Conor-- great family
Great Kids
Of course Channing's husband is in the great catagory as well
Beautiful day for an outside BBQ
Liz and Tom were able to join the family as well. Great time together.
