This summer Dianna made a wonderful dog dish for Miles. The problem is that it just isn’t big enough for his food and it wouldn’t be long before it breaks. I decided that instead of letting it sit and collect dust it would make a great ice cream bowl. I can easily fit twice as much ice cream in Miles dish compared to a regular bowl.
Sorry Miles back to your tin can!
Summer Vacation sure flew by again this year. I traveled a lot so here are some of the Highlights from the 2 1/2 month roadtrip.
It started in St. Louis with Grandpa. We saw the arches and watched the Cards lose to Milwuakee the first night then beat the Cubs the second night. The second night we were only 6 rows up from the Cards dugout.
Grandpa didn’t even seem to mind that the cubs were losing as long as the Cheerleaders kept coming out to dance on the dug out. Here we are under a smaller Arch. They were putting them together for some reality TV show.
After leaving St. Louis I dropped Grandpa back off in Iowa and headed West to pick up Joey and Holmes. Then headed west and south First stop Reno to visit Tobie. Then down to LA to visit Skip.
Joey sees the mountains for the first time on this trip. Joey pokes his head through the back window, judging by the smile on his face he is one happy guy.
Joey and Holmes have an old fashion dual with Bananas outside one of the truck stops. I guess Joey won since Holmes drew his banana at ate it, instead of trying to shoot Joey.
We spent a day at the beach with Skip and his Brother. It was the same beach they shot Baywatch at. Here Joey spent the day surfing and waxing his board. The rest of us worked on our tan..(I got BURNT) and relaxing.
After leaving LA we headed north on HWY 1. We made a stop in Big Sur then hit the road and landed in the big city of San Fransisco. Joey and Holmes wait for Jess to come home from work. The next morning we drove across the Golden Gate Bridge. It was foggy so we couldn’t see all of the bridge, but at least we saw the middle half.
After San Fransisco we landed in Red Wood National Forest. Where I was able to drive my truck through a tree! Joey decided to spend the night in the truck with me. Holmes braved sleeping on the picnic table, I guess he doesn’t believe in Big Foot.
After arriving in the Seattle Joey and Holmes flew back to their homes and I went up and visited Uncle Gary Aunt Peg and Bear. When Miles wasn’t running through their screen door we was busy playing with Bear.
Other highlights this summer. Paddling in warm weather. Miles would swim or run the banks most of the way but sometimes he would ride in the Canoe with Dianna and once in a while he would try to ride on the kayak. This never lasted long or ended good.
Dianna and I also made a road trip out to see Mike and Heather and their 2 kids. Dianna spent time showing Kennedi how to email, and then Kennedi showed Dianna how to pose for pictures.
Phil got married this summer, so for his bachelor party we played a relaxing 9 holes of golf. None of us were really golfers as you can see by Cyle’s swing and miss.
Yes I saved the best for last. I showed Phil that I could still break his ankles with my cross over and I could make enough shots to beat him in some street ball. On the July 4th Greg, Dianna, Phil and I went to La Crosse Fest and watched Twiggy the Water Skiiing Squirrel. He is the same one that was in the movie Anchorman and Dodgeball. Who knew such a celebrity would show up at La Crosse Fest.
