I took video of him practicing the trombone today. He's in the jazz band and coming along nicely. I really liked watching the girls dance to his music.

Kevin and the trombone
I took video of him practicing the trombone today. He's in the jazz band and coming along nicely. I really liked watching the girls dance to his music.
Department retreat
Our department had a retreat up the canyon this week. Some of us went golfing. I took this picture on the course.
Sunday fun
This picture was taken when the kids were having a bit of fun with couch cushions and blankets. They wanted me to take a picture.
Lizzie at the fair
She really liked the fire trucks and ambulance. Mom didn't like the way they were able to get strapped in the bed and loaded into the ambulance. it was a fun day.
Kevin's Eagle project - Cell phone recycling
Well Kevin was doing his Eagle scout project recently. His project was to raise awareness about the dangers cell phones cause when they get thrown in landfills. So he's also collecting cell phones from people to recycle. Because he's raising awareness, we decided to let him use this blog to post pictures from his drive he had a the local grocery store one Saturday.
Kevin and his sister Elena at the booth. She was a HUGE help and loved to approach people and tell them what her brother was doing.
Some of the emergency vehicles they had at the fair.
Kevin setting up the booth. We had a GREAT location. Everyone entering the store or the fair could see our posters.

Wish Elisa were here.
You belong in the seat in front of me for dinner here in downtown Paris. Would have made dinner perfect.
Walking tour of Paris
Well this one is for Elisa. I took a VERY long walk through Paris to enjoy the sites, but mostly to go to the Louvre and Notre Dame Cathedral. I don't know how far it was, but it must have been like 3 miles each way. Then I hiked to the top of the south tower of Notre Dame. Finally, I ate dinner at a restaurant overlooking Notre Dame. Wish Elisa were there for that.
And Notre Dame.
On the walkway between the towers of Notre Dame.
Looking down to the river from the top of the south tower of Notre Dame.
The gargoyles...
The dome of the north tower of Notre Dame.
No explanation needed... You can almost imagine Quasimodo, from Victor Hugo's novel, swinging from the gargoyles up there.
The entrance to the Louvre
Me in the plaza front of the Louvre.
Through the Arc de Triumphe (the mini one) in front of the Louvre.
South wing of the Louvre.
