Kids Pictures 1
I've changed the background on this because a grandparent complained about the amount of ink the other consumed in printing out the images.
These pictures are a bunch that we had left over from a number of old events.

This is from Thanksgiving 1998, our first with friends from California.� At left are the kids, all only children and therefore misfit and maladjusted.� Can't you tell.� At left in the furs in Avery, daughter of good friends Marna and Ed.� Above Benjamin is Anna Marie Harrison, daughter of good friends William and Tina Harrison of Irvine. |
| This is Avery and Benjamin after a hike in the wilderness along the Skyline Drive up near San Francisco.� This was taken in October 1999, I think. | |

In the Fall of last year (1999) we went to Alcatraz.� Benjamin really loved the self-paced tour, so here he is outfitted with headphones.� Golden Gate is in the background.� We really love visiting San Francisco.� It's my favorite city in all the world.� Such a dramatic setting and so much stuff there. |
| At right are pictures we took on top of Cerro Alto, a coastal mountain about 20 miles north of Oceano.� It was Benjamin's first big hike. � He went about 5 miles, straight up and down.� We are trying to hike regularly now, something we haven't done for any distance since he was born.� He complains a lot sometimes, but we both refuse to carry him. | |
|
At the end of the summer in Morro Bay there is a festival.� We went and let Benjamin ride down a slide over and over. |
| Thanksgiving 1999 we had wonderful weather, unlike last year.� So the day after Thanksgiving, we climbed up Bishop's Peak, a dormant volcano just north of San Luis Obispo.� Here's a shot from up top.� Avery and Anna Marie were speed demons going up.� We had to go searching for them, they got to the top so fast.� Enroute down, Benjamin was begging me to carry him.� I kept refusing. � "I'll pay you," he offered.� I reminded him he didn't have any money.� "I'll pay you with your money." | |
