Curtis went to the Scottish Games and met Briana and Rob there. This picture is of course for Lucy. Curtis threatened to bring home one of these English wolfhounds.
Curtis wants to make a shield. He bought a 24 inch diameter table top and now has ideas on how to make it into a shield. 
They are throwing these logs--amazing. 
This is the hammer throw.
Curtis committed some offense and is being punished.
Here Curtis kills a horrible enemy.
Briana and I were happy to be able to make it to Trisha's shower this weekend. She sure has grown since Easter. She had a great shower and due to the wonderful people in her church they will have to buy very little for at least the first year of Little G's life. Well, okay they will have to be buying diapers.
You may not be able to see this too well but they are a cute little pair of Nike shoes.
The TWEK group, BLOG group and others went to Big Basin for a hike. It was wonderfully beautiful and shouted out the awesome glory of God.
Yes, you guessed correctly. Curtis is kissing a banana slug. Actually this was the fourth kiss. Tom kept messing up the picture taking (Curtis suspects on purpose) so that Curtis had to redo the kiss. It took hours to get the slim off the fingers. His slimmy lips are ready for Lucy's return. She could not make the hike because she was in San Diego for Trisha's baby shower.
Above is the Sempervirens Falls that we hiked to.
If anyone from the hike has some good pictures, particularly of the falls please send them to Curtis for posting.
Lucy crochetted Mr. Elephant for Patrick during her week in Dallas. Patrick really liked it.
For Jedidiah's 28th birthday the Dallas family went to the Dallas Aquarium. It was a beautiful place. It was more than an aquarium as you'll see in the pictures.
Behold the manatee ...
... the beautiful flamingos...
... and the very strange seahorses.
From the aquarium we went on a picnic (indoor picnic) to the plaza, which is next to Dennis' work.
Some of us went ice skating.
We ended with a birthday cake for Jedidiah. The strawberries were pretending they were candles. We finally got back to the house at 11pm, it was a fun but exhausting day.
Lucy and Curtis are in Dallas with family. James and Hope presented them with a concert.
The family all went to the Dallas Arboretum. The word beautiful does not even approach the beauty.
The statue man was really man, but very much like a statue in appearance.
Patrick loved walking around the garden, including chasing a squirrel.
Jedidiah's armadillo won the race!
Rachel, Jedidiah and Kathryn hide from the frog water jet.
What a beautiful family.
Kathryn was trying very hard to turn over. She has not yet figured out what to do with one of the arms.
We drove in Briana's car to Mike and Becky's place. Above is a picture of Mike's office building.
While there we went on a hike and only got a little lost. It was fun and you can see Zari had a great time.
We may have tired her out.
We had to drive down to San Diego to find out first hand if Trisha is really having a baby. Well here is the picture and Yes, she is pregnant alright!
We visited Balboa Park while we were there. We saw some beautiful flowers which unfortunately probably didn't help Trisha's allergies.
We flew back home while Briana drove back to school. One more month until summer break for her.
