Our Summer

Our Summer started with us flying out of Hong Kong on June 20. Nearly 20 hours later we were back in Utah. We spent a few days in Utah recovering from jet lag and then were on the road in our suburban headed for Los Angeles. The kids didn't mind the trip because they just relaxed and watched movies. We made our traditional stop at "The Narrows" in St. George and then in Las Vegas to eat at Chipotle. We stayed in Redondo Beach for a few days to visit Grandpa Jim.

Brendon, Alicia, and Dean all came to visit us so of course we all ended up going to Carrow's for lunch. That seems to be Grandpa's favorite place now. It used to be El Pollo Loco which of course we had to go to on another day where we happened to see Ron Artest from the LA Lakers. We heard music and a DJ from a local radio station in the parking lot and had to see what the excitement was all about. Come to find out, Ron Artest was expected to show up for a signing so Jonny and Gavin quickly went to Marshall's to buy a Laker t-shirt then waited for an hour in line to get his autograph. It was pretty cool.

Grandpa always likes to take the kids to the park. This is his new girlfriend from the Villa where he is living.
