The Traveling Geocache Team & Chase Field

We ate at the TGIF's at Chase when were in in AZ to visit and they have a balcony that overlooks field. They're anticipating the upcoming D-Backs season!

Derek, Jack and whoever they could recruit managed a number of Geocache hits in AZ. This is, if I have the lingo right, an urban micro cache in QC.

More cache stuff, they found one with some cool swaps.

Finally!

I've been very lax in updating the blog lately, but I would like anyone who reads this to note that it isn't just the blog readers who are suffering from my busy-ness-- this is Anna's 8 year photo which we took in February. And yes, her birthday was in October.

School Related

Really, this was school related. Anybody care to guess what this face paint is for?

Zoo Day

We spent a long day at the zoo and hit just about everything. It was one of the first times in over 8 years we didn't feel like rushing through something because of a nap time or other kid-related things. It felt odd! Luke was a trooper but pretty tired by the time we left.

Two out of Three

Anna made it to the Los Angeles American Girl Place. Now that she's been to the one in Chicago and LA, she thinks it is only logical that she hit the one remaining store in New York. Hmmm.... not so sure about that one.

The Real 40th Party

Who are those whipper snappers?

All the CA grandkids, except Ethan who thought it would be more fun to nap than to eat cake. That kid has a thing or two to learn! :)

The (Futile, of course) 40th Anniversary Party in an Attempt to Throw Off Dad

Mom and Dad, I embedded the Brown Eyed Girl dance below so you can more easily find it.
