We went to Six Flags today!

As our last hurrah before school starts Monday Sue and I took Jacob,
Megan, and Stephen to Six Flags today. We also took our friends Kara,
Courtney, and Andrew Smith. Megan, Stephen, and Andrew got in free
because they read for more than 600 minutes during the last school year,
and we took the others just because we love them :-) Sue rode the
Batman ride and I got to ride the Superman ride, with others in
between. It was a fun day!

Happy Anniversary to us!

Today is our 18th wedding anniversary. We have had a great time
celebrating today and look forward to what the Lord has in store for us
in the future!

We had a great vacation!

We travelled to the great state of Alaska for our summer vacation this
year and had a great time! It was cool, the weather was great, and we
saw mountains, animals, and lots of countryside. I should have our
daily blog entries up by the end of the week and pictures shortly
thereafter. Check back soon...

7/3/05 - Alaska trip underway!

7/3/05 - We got off to good start - left the house at 8:00am for our
11:35am flight. Stephen and Kevin kept talking about the airplanes
"blasting off", and all the kids enjoyed the first plane ride to MSP.

The flight from MSP to Anchorage was long, but everyone did good. Kevin took a nap, everyone read and played Gameboys and we oooh'd and aah'd when we saw Alaska from 34,000 feet.

We made it to the motel just fine, found some ice cream nearby, then fell asleep while it was still light outside ( at 10:00pm!).

Sue & the kids in FL

Well, Sue and the kids took off for Florida today. Jacob and Megan will
spending a few days with their grandparents, and Sue will be taking
Stephen and Kevin to the beach, their cousin's house, Penney Farms, and
then back to pick up Jacob and Megan. Go, Sue! If you see her on her
trip give her a hug for me...

School's Out for Summer!

Woohoo! School is over and the kids are excited about it being summer.
We've got a busy time ahead - a couple of camps, a play to interpret, a
trip to Alaska, and hopefully some relaxation time :-) We're hoping we
get to see some the friends and family that we haven't seen for a while
and have some fun with the kids. It should be fun!

Good time with Mom Emery

We had a good time with Mom Emery here last week. She came up to see Sue in the Sound of Music, and had a good time with the kids and me while Sue did her thing with the play. We celebrated Mom's 76th birthday while she was here, baking a cake and taking her out to Up the Creek in McDonough. Hope things are going well in your part of the world. Drop us a line or call when you can!
