On Christmas afternoon we had a good time creating gingerbread houses. Mark and Jan were a team, Glen an Sarah were a team, and Danny did one all by himself. Hmm, I wonder how many calories are in all those houses!

Christmas Decorations
The Christmas decorations are up! I made the Nativity Wall hanging many years ago. The wooden figures are from Israel.I like to put up my Christmas cards from past years. They are grouped by style. For example, note the Christmas cards arranged as a Nativity Scene. There are also cards that are groupings of snowy scenes, old fashioned Christmas etc. I got the radish ornament in Levenworth, Washington at a Christmas store there. (I collect fruit ornaments.)

Kendal's Skate Practice
One of our days in California, we went to see Kendal, skate. She is a serious skater and does both figure skating and short track speed skating. She is an amazing skater, and a really nice person too. We love her.
Many other skaters were there too. Some have been in the Olympics. It was fun to see them, but we were really there for Kendal.
In one of the pictures she is talking to her coach. It's blurry because I took the picture through the glass.
Annette is a great support to Kendal and is always there to take her to practices, lessons, and events; sew her beautiful costumes, and cheer for her on the sidelines!
The last picture is a series of pictures of Kendal in action.

Disneyland - Sep 2009 - part 1
I have not finished this, but I'll post what I have and finish it later. --------------------------------
As part of our California trip in September, we went to Disneyland for two days. On Tuesday Greg and I went with Annette to Disneyland, and on Thursday, Greg and I went to California Adventure. We had a great time!
We were all excited to go to Disneyland. We drove through the outside gates then around the new California Adventure park to the huge parking garage. We followed the lead car up the ramps to the 5th floor. We noted our parking place then got out and walked to the escalators to go down. We walked to the loading area and waited in line for a tram. As we rode the tram we saw several Halloween scenes featuring Micky and Minnie Mouse. We disembarked from the tram.
Then we waited in another line to go through the security area where our bags were searched. We waited in another line to pick up our tickets. We went through the gates and were were inside! From the time we entered the outside gate to when we were finally inside Disneyland, it took 1 hour! Wow!
We talked down Mainstreet to Tomorrow land and rode the Star Tours ride. It is always a lot of fun.
Earlier in the day we had gone to a skating rink to watch Kendal practice her figure skating. Annette had to take Kendal to school then she was meeting us at Disneyland. So we walked back down Main street to one of the stores to wait for her. She soon arrived.

California Trip - Beach
The Beach September 2009
At long last, the day that Greg dreams about all year had arrived. We were at the beach!
His sunscreen was on, we had the boogie boards, and he was ready to ride some waves.
Greg's mom, Maggie, and brother, Lance went with us.
Greg surveys the waves, looking for a good one.
He's ready to go in!
A promising wave!
The air was clear and warm. Here is the view back toward the parking lot.
I took a little walk down to the rocks. It's a really pretty beach. At low tide there are tide pools. Today the tide is high.
Lance going in!
The water temperature was in the 70s, so it was very pleasant. They both caught a few waves.
After their swim, the two brothers rest and dry off for a while and enjoy a snack.
Although the waves were small, it was still a satisfying day at the beach.
