Sofi and Nicole.
Francisco and Zak.
The big slide was popular.
We went to the Sonoma County Fair.
We whacked a watermelon with Grandpa's sword. The kids took excellent
pictures. These and some of the ones that follow
were taken by Nicole, Francisco, Sofi, and Zak.
We had another pie fight.
Sofi just before being hosed down.
The fantastic four.
We went to the bumper boats at Scandia on a warm July day. The
boats have water canon. Grandpa got soaked.
Then, miniature golf.
The kids took lots of great pictures. Here we are on the Larkspur
Ferry to San Francisco.
We had burgers at the Embarcadero.
The kids shot wads of bread and french fries at the seaguls.
The seagulls were puzzled but ate the amunition anyway.

Scenes from the market.
Our boat.
More photos by the kids.
Nicole and Sofi camped in the back yard.

Grammy's photo of Isabelle and Cassidy.
Isabelle spent a week with us. We took her to a big pet shop.

A strange thing about Grandpa's digital photos. If you put bunny
ears on someone else (even if you just try),
they wind up behind your own head.
Grandpa says, "Isabelle, can I have a smile for a picture?" And
this is what he gets.
Our friend, Margery, came over to see Isabelle.
Isabelle played with our neighbor's grandchildren, Luke and Peyton.
We went to Traintown in Sonoma. Then we had a picnic lunch at
the park.
Zak receives instruction in how to fly a U.S. Marine Corp Harrier jet
at the Sonoma County Air Show. Learning how
to fire the guns was his favorite part.
A veteran Mitchell B-25 gunship at the air show. This type of
aircraft was used to strafe enemy coastal shipping in
the Pacific during WWII.
A P-40 in Flying Tiger colors. Before the U.S. entered the war,
these were the only effective opposition the Japanese faced.
A P-38. Suitable for long-range missions, this fighter was used
in Europe and the Pacific.
A DC-3 and a hot rod -- from the same era.
Grandpa on August 26 before gall bladder removal and after, on August
27, home 3 hours after the end of surgery. Really!
