Lanstrom's Visit

With Kevin and Mary in town it was perfect day to have Mark, Gayle,Glen, Emily and Erik Lanstrom out for a visit. The cousins all had a good time getting to see each other. We went on a electric boat trip and had great food that Mark and Gayle made. It was also fun that we finally got to use our new oven. After the boat ride it was time to hit the seadoo's.

Colorado family comes to Channel Island

Kevin, Mary, Nathan, Peter and christina came for a visit before heading off to there new adventures in life. It is allways good to see them and it was time to head to the islands. We got to see some great dolphins and 3 whales. Nathan and Peter drive like Indy drivers so we made it back in 2 minutes. It was a great trip out there with blue sky's and clear water. Christina gets the video credits for this one.

Family vacation in Europe

We went to 9 countries in 15 days. We traveled by plane, trains, and boats. Eric's parents and Brother Chris and his wife cindy and Cherie's parents also made the trip. We started the trip in Amsterdam and got to spend some time with a college friend reijer who now lives in Amsterdam. He took Chris and Cindy and us on a great cruise through the cannels on his boat. We then took the train to Hamburg Germany and really enjoyed our time there. It is a very nice harbor town. Next we took the train to Denmark. It traveled for a few hours then the train went on a boat to cross the waterway to get to Copenhagen. It was a great experience. Next we spent a few days with everyone in Copenhagen and really enjoyed our time there. Tivoli gardens was a lot of fun (a lot like disneyland). We then boarded our boat and went to Finland, Sweeden, Russia,Estonia, Poland, and Norway. We really enjoyed all the cities. Russia was a very interesting experience. They sure like to drink there as they serve vodka and champaign with every meal. We traveled cannels in most of the cities and enjoyed all of them. We also got to ride bikes in Estonia. We then went back to Copenhagen and had a great day riding the boats through the cannels and eating on the waterway. We also went to the Gytotek art museam and happen to meet Rick Steves from the travel Channel. They filmed us for there copenhagen episode that will air in September. Eric's mom got here dream to go to Denmark with her boys and everyone had a great time.

Here are a few more trip pictures from Eric's mom and Chris.
