September Travels

After a couple of nights in Portland we joined Linda and Larry Langley and a group of their avid OSU fans, many from Hawaii, in Corvallis for the OSU vs Hawaii football game. Lots of orange out there!
The stadium
These people have a truck with 2 TV screens on its side.
And they bring a sofa for their friends to sit on.
Jackie and his pals...

Our gang - a couple of Hawaii Green shirts in there

Buck's new post retirement enterprise?
Thad and his high school buddy Spencer
Jackie and I didn't attend the game, instead we had a swim and went out to dinner. The boy loves his goggles.

Thad and Jackie racked out in our hotel room
Hmmm...those are Jackie's clothes?

Ahhh, there he is.
Next stop Knoxville on a plane just like this one. I was lucky enough to go on a field trip to a hangar near the airport with Kali's class as well as the other kindergarten class from her school.
Inspecting the wheel well

The kids

Reflections under the wing

The grand finale was a fire truck.

Sept. 22 - Kali's 6th birthday She's wearing the crown she was given at school.

What are Buck, Kali and Sara looking at with such surprise and why is Rick looking so sheepish?
All the supplies Rick has gathered for Kali's cake.
And the work begins. This year's theme is gymnastics.

The finished product.

The birthday girl being sung to.
Kali managed to do head stand...what a great birthday present for her.
The birthday guests ready to play in the  gym



 Kali and her gymnastic medal..all the kids received them at the party and  were all as pleased as she was.
Emulating Unkie Thad

She and I got our nails done. Mine were a bit more conservative.

Bath time. Like Jackie, she loves her goggles.

Sara about to beat her own record at Jenga.

Reading Fancy Nancy, one of Kali's birthday gifts.
