JULY- Richard Jackson Reunion at Huntington Beach California

July 20-21 over 20 of us went to the Richard Jackson Reunion in Huntington Beach.

Jonathan was in charge of the reunion this year and it was such a fun reunion.

After spending the day at the beach we all went out for dinner.

Next year in Heber, Utah.

Touring San Diego - Feb 18, 2012

Jerry and Braden and I went to San Diego.

We toured the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier.

The Midway was named after the WWII Battle of Midway.

This ship is similar to the ship Jerry was on at the start of the Vietnam War,

it was named the Bon Homme Richard.

And the Midway was near Vietnam while I was stationed there in 1972.

 After that we went through "The Star of India",

and the "Ship Surprise". We also went through a Russian and an American Submarine.

A Day at Huntington Beach California

On August 15, 2011 we went to Huntington Beach to play in the waves.

Amy buried Matthew in the sand

 But he fought his way out!

 Vincent loved splashing his feet in the waves.

 A movie of Vincent playing in the ocean.

Oh! Mama this is great!

 I ate some seaweed for lunch.  Yuck, it doesn't taste like chicken!

 Holly was very busy capturing this great event in pictures.

 Our humble beach site.

I took a stroll down by the Huntington Pier and watched the waves crash into the pylons.

It was an absolute beautiful day at the beach!

Disneyland - The Happiest Place on Earth

I went to Southern California with Tim and Katrina and their three children. We stayed in Las Vegas on the way there and then visited with my brother Jerry and then we visited Jonathan. Then we spent five full days at Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure.

We went to the M & M Factory and I bought an M & M Peanut Pillow.

Kyra, Tyler and Karissa had fun there too.

Jerry showed the kids his 1932 Ford he built.

We all love his red Ford!

Jonathan just finished putting in a new patio. 

With Minnie in California Adventure.

Tyler and me with Mater and Lightning.

I had a fight with Mr. Incredible!

Next we went to Disneyland and the Small World music is still ringing in my head.

We went to visit Minni at her home.
