More Beach Week

Tanner, looking like we have another beach lover in the family.

Little siblings trying to get in on the act.




The stone crab that made me hungry.

Beach Week 09 at Indian Rocks

This is the view from our condo balcony. This part of Indian Rocks beach was virtually "ours".

Here's the #1 Beachlover in our family, keeping things in order.

Aaron and Claudine's Wedding

Don't you love Ken's hair this way?
This is a rare moment.... us dancing!












At this poignant moment of the ceremony, Laura dropped Tanner's cheerio container and it rattled and rolled all the way into the pool. Luckily, Claudine and Aaron never even noticed. Of course 99 % of the guests did!











No cake smashing into that pretty face! A teasing, but well manner groom he was.









Wasn't Claudine a radiant bride? That's Suzanne's Lilly in her arms, cheesing it up.

Disney Days Plus

Recently we spent a long weekend in Orlando. 3 days in the Magic Kingdom one on one with each family. One day with the Henrys, one day with the Engels, and one day with the Peltz's. This ride on the Jungle Cruise with the Jackson, Lilly and Suzanne worked well because it wasn't "in the dark".












This is Tyson (7) and Tate (4) Henry. The park was packed. I think every school district in Florida had the same long weekend as Pasco and Hillsborough counties. We arrived on Friday morning at 8am for a "Character Breakfast" in the Crystal Palace and stayed until 6:30pm. The Henry's stayed for the parade and fireworks, a full 12 hours of Magic! I was asleep by 8pm in our Maitland hotel where Ken had a pharmacy conference. Woke up the next morning with killer shin splints!



The weather was perfect, not too cold, not too hot. We'd never seen the park decorated for Halloween before.




Switched hair stylists and salons to help revamp my look for Aaron's wedding next week.
I love my hair! We have an amazing stylist, and I'm keeping her a secret.

Happy 4th of July, Portugal style!

Enjoyed an evening visit with President
and Sister Henry and old friends from
Florida, Marc and Juli Bernhisel. They
were enroute to Barcelona, and Czech.
to visit President and Sister Slovacek.

Beauty All Around

This is the Douro River looking westward toward
the Atlantic Ocean. We enjoyed the quiet beauty
of the gardens. This is an image we don't want to
forget!

The Farewell Inspection Tour

I'm not going to show you their sparkling apartments, only their sparkling smiles!
