Our days have been filled with lots of summer fun. Swimming, playing at the beach, fixing our money pit of a car and BBQs. We have not planned any trips because of the recent spike in gas prices. Our state has among the highest prices in the nation because of a huge tax.
Micah continues to grow in his fascination with water. He will wade into salt water that is not more than 45 degrees, but somehow won't play in the sprinkler or at our local spray park.
4th of July was great. Our city has a "Freedom Festival" along the water front with lots of food and entertainment. Micah was particularly interested in the display of fire trucks, while I was particularly interested in the display of Indian food.
Along with the festival was the presence of the "Tall Ships". Many of these ships have been used in movies like Pirate of the Carribean, so it was really fun to get a view (not too close because it cost $10)of them.
Julie and I are most looking forward to the visit of some good friends from Korea. They will be flying in to Seattle for a layover on their way back to school. We can't wait to see them and their son, who is a giant of a man at 10 months.
Hope you all are having a great summer as well and taking the time to enjoy good weather, friends and family.
Here are some pics from our recent "adventures" around the city.

Great pictures of the family. I like the one of you and Julie at the wedding. I agree, your wife is gorgeous!! :-)
On seeing that picture of Micah in shorts, I'd have to say that he's inherited his Daddy's Ma-Hu-Sive calves! ha.
no fair that you got tcis guests dropping in. We don't tend to get many (any) drop-in guests here in Saudi...can't imagine why!
