Paradise!!















Boompa was fortunate to be assigned travel boards to paradise twice this year. I was happy to tag along and play with Elmogirl and her folks. We beached, toured museums, visited the animals in the zoo, light house, aircraft carrier, beached more, swam at the pool, ate AMAZING food by AM and at places featured on the show Drive In's, Diners, and Dives. Thanks for all your hospitality BW, AM, and Elmogirl. Looking forward to our next visit!!

Adventures with Wawa























In April we had 3 weeks before Wawa returned to BYU for spring/summer terms. Here are pictures of some of our adventures. We returned to Waldorf to see friends there--Miss Linda, Martha, lunch bunch, and her kindergarten teacher too. We went to Enchanted Forest while getting our Easter ham. OC was sunny but brisk. JT made a great Matilda for her school spring festival. She and JT made their own adventures on the driveway with skateboard and wheelchair. We took an afternoon to visit the local waterholes--one for looking, one for getting in. Wet is best!! The girls had a great time on the mile race--the girls both earned medals and Wawa placed for her age group and got some cool socks. Reuniting with loved ones and meeting newest niece where the best. Grandpa S. was great help at the airport when departing again...
