Evergreen Museum

When we were in the US on vacation, we took a trip to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. It is the home of the famous Spruce Goose, built by Howard Hughes. It is a great museum with a separate building for space history and aviation history, an IMAX theater, a wonderful snackbar/cafe, and even its own vineyard with wine tastings held under the wings of the Spruce Goose. When we move to Oregon, we will definitely become members. (And when Bill is old and retired, he can volunteer and tell visitors all about airplanes they don't care about!) We had the museum mostly to ourselves so we were free to run around and enjoy it. We also had the special treat of Army helicopters visiting the museum for the day. It was a very thrilling outing...can't wait to go again! Enjoy the video of our recent visit (sorry if it's kind of long...we had fun!).

Grandpa's Wedding

While we were in the US, my grandpa got married. I was so happy that we could be there and share his special day. It was a nice ceremony with family and friends. I made a small wedding video montage to help them remember the day. (Unless you're related, this probably won't be too interesting, but I wanted to share it anyway.) Congratulations Grandpa!

Swimming

Hello, friends, I'm back!! After a two week vacation, and 4 days without internet, I'm going to attempt to get caught up on my blog. I will start by posting some videos of our time in the US. We spent a lot of time with family just having fun. We didn't do anything too fantastical, but we enjoyed ourselves. I really will try to catch up on all the things I've been meaning to write about. I guess I'll find out if I still have any readers out there!

For now, enjoy a video of my niece and nephews at swimming lessons! They are GREAT swimmers and we had fun watching them!
