National Youth Gathering

So Lutheran kids from all over the US headed to New Orleans.   I tracked Justin's flight. 

While Justin is away.  Vika took his "spot" at the table. 

These 2 characters were sleeping in my mulch bed.  

Yep again!

Amy had Dr mtg's in Orlando again.  So we were fortunate enough to tag along...

This is the Orlando Int. Airport monorail....

You never know who you are going to see on the Magical Express to Disney World..

I had to sit next to Capt Phasma, a member of the first order.

Our view...

Through the balcony door..

Our princess / member of the first order..

So I ran into some old friends at the Norway village in EPCOT..

The crew... yeah I know.. I cut out the short one..

Kylo Ren and Capt Phasma...   yep.... thats Vika....  she likes the bad guys..

Movie night... at the pool...

The horrible feeling when you have to ride the bus back to the airport after your trip is over..

Fathers Day

Had a great Fathers Day.
Got up early and went flying with Justin.  It was his official first lesson.  He did great.  All those times flying with me will make his learning process a breeze.

After flying headed to late church and then home for lunch.

At home we spent most of the day in the pool.  Aunt Mel & girls came over and soaked up sun and fun with us...


These are the new solar caps I installed on my corner posts on the deck.

Fathers Day crew..

Golden birthday!

Our princess turned 10 on the 10th!

Dr Amy took the kids to the Magic House... cuz thats where Vika picked..
