4th of July

4th of July is always a great time in the channel Islands Harbor. This year we had the Kilpatricks, both sets of parents and Phil out for a fun day. The Kilpatricks, Cherie and I went out on the Seadoo's. It was pretty choppy so we stayed close to shore. I lost my hat and went back to pick it up and a wave knocked us right in the water, we had fun swimming for the Seadoo and all got a good laugh about it. After we got going some bottlenose dolphins swam right by us. At night we had a great fire works show from the Navy base and all had a good day. Thank you troops for protecting our country.

Thanks to Cal for setting everything up and Greg for the shirts. Team Cantrell was the big winners this year at 15 under par. Three teams tied one shoot back. We all send out our prayers to Ernie and Sue and there family in the loss of Sue's dad this last week. The video is from our day and the music is by Nickelback called if Everyone cared.

Fun Sunday

Ready to go

Lars felt the need for speed.
Below Kori teaches Mike and her dad how to drive.

After going to church (we almost made it on time) we were joined by the Groenveld's, Engstrom's, Cory and Marnie. It was hot in the valley so it pushed all the clouds to the ocean and we had a cloudy day. We went out Kayaking, electric kayaking, 2 trips on the Seadoo's and had a ride around the harbor on the electric boat. It was a little rough on the ocean so we did not go out to far but we still had a good time. Had a nice lunch from Yolanda's and was an all around fun day.

Cherie, Jennifer, and Zephyr got out kayaking, David and Phil went on the electric Kayak, the rest of us including George went in the Electric Boat.

Memorial Day 2009

We had a great 4 day Memorial Day weekend out in the Channel Islands. We were visited by family and friends. The weather was perfect and we got to go Seadooing, kayaking, electric boating, and biking. We also got to play some Ma Jong. The video has music from one of my favorite bands the Plimsouls and the song is a million miles away.
