Sam's 3rd! Disneyland!

Sam was treated to an exciting trip to SoCal for birthday #3. The entire family flew down from Seattle and met up with Nana Jan and Papa Alan, and of course locals Aunt TT and Mark. Onto the photos.

On the bus to the Happiest Place on Earth, Sam is ready to meet the residents.

First up is Goofy...."but I want to see Mickey."

Goof is more afraid of Sam...

Finally, Mickey! Put'r there pal.

Glacier National Park - Papa's Photos

Here's why I've been a bad blogger...um, because sometimes it's just hard to find time to post.

That said, here are pictures that Papa Craig and Nana Sue took while in Glacier National Park during early August. It was a splendid trip and of course the weather cooperated perfectly. Once I get around to loading the photos from my camera, I'll get those up too.

Great photos, pops.

The fam on the Road to the Sun.

Of course we stopped at the sign on the way -out- of the Park.

We'll have to come back soon!
