Peter jumping in over his head.

Here's Peter enjoying a jump into Tristan's pond! Lovely dinner and dessert at Tonya, Adam, and Tristan's following our water wallowing ways.

Cady on Alaskan shingle beach.

Cady on an Alaskan sea beach at 8:30pm. Bed time? I don't think so!! Resurrection Bay, Alaska. The "grains" of sand on this beach are more like cobblestone, and Alaskan's refer to such a beach as a shingle beach.

Great family vacation to Colorado and Alaska this June. See more pictures and some of the other things we did at our family's photo web site. In addition to myself, Amelia, Peter and Cady, we joined Amelia's sister and her family (Laura, Dan, John and Kevin), my mother, Cronie Pat at my brother's house in Anchorage (Chris, Penny, Beth and Karen).

The four of use who entered (myself, Amelia, Dan and Laura) all finished the Anchorage Mayor's Midnight Sun marathon, too!

Hybrid and Vegetable-powered cars

The Ithaca Festival parade's new automobile entry this year was the "Hybrid HoeDown". In addition to half a dozen hybrids (two showing in the foreground), the next three cars and the bus were all vegetable oil-powered. Neat!
