Horseing around with Bri, CL and Lizzy

Lizzy is a horselover and LOVED riding Grandad's horses! She had a perma-smile on her face and it was hard to get her off at the end of the day.
It was a beautiful day at the ranch! The kids had a great time!

Caty-Lynne looks so beautiful in her french braids!!

Bodey saw more action today that he has for over 3 years, and the kids loved riding him!

While the kids played at the ranch, Robin and I relaxed at our pedicure! Ahh:)

July with the Millers

Here we are at the Zoo. Lizzy had fun making a variety of faces for Grandad.

Somehow my pictures at the Chinese restaurant are right in the middle of the zoo pictures, but everyone was so hungry that they gobbled down the chinese food like it was going out of style


While we were visiting the african area at the zoo, one on the giraffes escaped and ran into the zebra/ostrich area and scared them to death. Then the giraffe tried to jump the fence and got stuck over the top of the fence. It was kind of scary! Don't have any shots of it , although Steve has it on video. That's my next lesson, how to download video to blog!

Melia's first trip to disneyland!

That ride was fun!! Let's do it again! Nash was right behind me and he loved it too!

Yummy honey! can I have a lick?
Nana was with us too, and here is a picture to prove it!!

Disneyland!! Melia's and Nash's birthday

Main Street! Disneyland here we come!!

Melia's favorite - a ride on Daddy's shoulders!:)

Here we are on the Winney the Pooh ride. OOh it's dark and scary!!

San Diego Continued

Here is Robyn finishing the race. She looks better than she was feeling, as dehydration had set in:(

Then her and Dan were waiting to greet us after crossing the finish line!! We were so proud of them!!

San Diego Half Iron Man

This is Dan coming in to the transition area just finishing the bike - note the shoes are off ready to jump off the bike.
And here he is just beginning the run. Nice tan lines Dan!!
The first picture is Robyn coming into transition after the bike race, and then leaving on her run.

Genoa Bay at sunset

We had had some rain, then one day the clouds parted and we had these beautiful scenes around us. Can't wait for you all to come and sail with us.
