Now this is the crazy-let-it-loose pose. Parker's holding up five fingers to show he's going into the fifth grade. Noel, a little more refined, is holding up four - she started fourth grade today.

Elizabeth looking out the window after take off. She said "goodbye Texas!"
Once the Benadryl kicked in, she fell fast asleep even though it was snack time.
It took Catherine a little bit longer to fall asleep, but the Benadryl finally won!
Noel and Parker on the bronze hippo. We enjoyed watching the hippos swim.
Noel pushes the gang up the hill on our way to see the polar bears.
Here are some little girls that didn't want to get up the next morning.
Elizabeth having fun! She's riding a cat with a fish in its mouth.
Catherine enjoying the ride. She really liked having Noel stay with her.
Ron and Susann on the pier in Oceanside. We were treated to a beautiful sunset.
Stuart and Cassandra - the whole reason we came to visit! That's Stuart saying "There's a baby in there!" - and there is!
Noel looks great in pink. She's ready for the day!
The big kids hanging out with R2D2.
This was a shot Ron wanted to make sure I got. Yes. He's holding a light saber. Yes. I think he won.

A shot of the roller coaster craziness that was the day!
Noel and mom hung out at the beach together. Just the big girls; no babies, no guys, just the big girls.
Noel's footprints in the sand...
It was our last day in California and a very memorable day for all of us.

Parker spent a weekend learning to surf. Of course, this picture paints another picture. The next camp we send him to will be "Manners Camp". Notice, he's the only child in the picture with his tongue hanging out of his mouth....
He had a great time and now has decided to be a roller coaster engineer/professional surfer.
