Mary didn’t want to be in the picture.  One thing I have learned is don’t argue with 3 year old.

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Mariners vs. Baltimore

Went to an afternoon baseball game.  Haven’t been to one in about 10 years. Bought Nachos, ate candy and drank apple juice.  The Mariners lost 5 to 2.

Bowling w/ the BFF’s - 1

While in Washington I got to go bowling at Lucky Strike in Bellevue Mall with 2 of my best friends Tanya and Tiffany.  We were sad that Bethany was unable to make this visit.  We missed her a lot.  We are planning a trip for all 4 of us together next year sometime.  It is much needed.

 

Tiffany lives in Tacoma and Tanya was visiting her till the 8th and I happened to schedule my visit with Dan and Genni at the same time.

 

Tiffany and I

The best silly face I can make.

 

Tanya and I

I am much better at regular pictures.

 

If I had Photoshop I would totally put you in there Bethany!!

Little Girls

When I took out my nice SLR digital camera Emma and Mary had to pose and be silly for the shoot.  They are the funniest little girls and hams on camera.

Happy July 4th!!

President Thomas Whitmore:

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

Independence Day, 1996

Allen Celebration

Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
