Homer on the 4th

Had a great day on the 4th; hope all your’s went as well.

We picked up Ryan, Judy and Nina in Anchorage on the 3rd and had a beautiful drive back that evening.  For the 4th we slept in (sort of, Nina was up and at em by 5:30), then drove down to Bill & Shellie’s after lunch.

Bill has the music room coming along fine with the addition of a drum set. An impromptu with Bill on acoustics, Jake on drums, Annie on Bass, Ryan on lead and Grandpa as engineer/critic was awesome. 

We moved out to Worsfold Field for some frisbee, football and trampoline work.  We managed to not hurt anyone and the only one who scored on Ryan the Annihilator was grandpa.


Only in Alaska, ok maybe California




"NO ONE SHALL PASS"





Perfect day; bug count was even low.  Hope all the peasants had as much fun.

Back at Soldotna Creek Park this morning.

Get outside, quick, it's sunny!
