Day Off Outing

Jill and Jaden posing on a couch in a stylish Ikea display...enjoying our day off! Jaden had a great time walking and exploring at Ikea.

Jaden pauses for a picture...a daddy shot, I think.

In the Cockpit

Alan checking out the cockpit of an FA18 Super Hornet at the Cleveland Air Show. Our friends' daughter tours the air show circuit flying the Super Hornet, representing the US Navy. I also got to sit in the cockpit, while our friends' daughter described what it's like to experience so many "G's" that you have to fight to keep consciousness! Checking out the Super Hornet was definitely a highlight of our day together at the air show.

Bye-bye!

Parting pictures and hugs after a fun and special week with Grandma and Grandpa Kropp.

Wet toes

Beach Strolling

Alan and Jaden walking along Lake Erie at Beulah Beach camp. Yesterday we drove up to Beulah Beach so Mom Kropp could see where she and her family stayed after their return from Japanese prison camp during WWII. The same brick building they lived in still stands. We waded in the water, picknicked by the beach, saw the campgrounds and just enjoyed the day away together.
