I made a commitment to several relatives to start keeping a blog again. So here it goes. We went to California and got together with both sides of the family earlier this month. We all had a great time. Our standard of taking pictures of our kids has lowered over the years. We used to try for pictures of the whole family facing the camera with smiling faces. Then we settled for looking at the camera. Now we are happy if we can just get them, or parts of them, in the picture to prove they were there. I should get tips from wild life photographers, I bet they could help. Rich and Maria have a good picture of Carson on their blog, but they had to bury him in the sand first. Maybe I should utilize that technique more often.

Hunter had a great time, at least some of the time, at the Safari park. His Grandma was a big help

Carson loved the sand and water at the beach.
