Game 6

These young time wasters wouldn't let me watch Game 6 in peace with their incessant questions so I turned it off and took them for ice cream.

Holden Challenges Riley to Lift Him

Holden has been getting stronger thanks to time and a chin up bar I installed. He can lift Riley up but can't carry her. He gave the same challenge to Riley and she easily picked up his 74 lbs. I was on the couch (surprise) and saw a photo opportunity. Huong did too and photo bombed Riley and Holden. I like the picture because it shows how happy everyone is.

Miramar MCAS Air Show


We attended the Miramar Marine Corp Air Station Air Show on Sunday. This was my first air show. My total exposure to air shows was the bloopers on Youtube and the news when things go wrong. I wasn't expecting anything to go wrong and nothing did. The Navy and Marines put on a good show and many maneuvers looked dangerous but that's the idea.

For being so close to the beach, the weather was very hot - in the high nineties the whole time. Full sun, of course, since you can't see anything from the shade. Luckily, we took the RV which got us preferential free parking and a place to retreat to when the sun got too hot. Just before the last show, which was the Blue Angels, we went to the RV in the parking lot and turned the air conditioner on.

Everyone got on the roof just in the time for the Blue Angels show. It was an amazing show and we were in the perfect spot because they came directly overhead several times.
