Those Silly Whitmire Kids

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

Who doesn't want to start the day petting a camel?

No one wanted to ride the elephants...

Raising hands on the Ark

Aaron was brave enough to check out the Giraffe with me - but I was too cheap to feed it... It decided that I needed to make room for the carrot buying customers and when I turned it blew in my ear - scared me silly!

The Lion and the boys...

Look close - the boys are gonna get wet!

Drying off after the ride with Taz

Who's messin' with who?

One last family shot!

...and a penguin that didn't want Aaron to leave :(

Golden Gate Bridge

It was a little cold...

The Heely's came in handy on the bridge...

It really is a pretty amazing and beautiful bridge!

Tennessee Valley Beach

My favorite experience from seminary was a "silent" sabbatical morning. I borrowed a mountain bike and discovered Tennessee Valley Beach. It's a 1.7 mile trail that leads to the Ocean. The kids loved the beach, and they enjoyed the trip out... The 1.7 miles back, not so much :)

Aaron LOVED the beach... Ashley liked it, but not the cold water... Caleb, ever the clean one, complained all the way back to the car :=)

This was an area where the rocks were hollowed out from the waves...

Seminary Walk-about

This is the rock at the point - my favorite spot to end my walks - along the $15 million homes at the bottom of the seminary hill shoreline trail...

That's San Francisco in the background...

Graduation Family

Outside Marin Center... Graduation Night.

Ashley and the Lounge Singer

Peggy asked me to sing "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" at our Red Hat luncheon. It's a good thing Ashley was part of the act, because I totally messed up the song! ...I do look pretty cool though...

Why Soccer is played...

It certainly isn't shin-guards :)
