What a super week we had in California! We stayed in Arcadia, on familiar Longden Ave, with Mother & Dad McEwan. Michael, Lea, Mazy, and Evey also enjoyed Mother & Dad's hospitality. Brian, Megan, Claire, Jack, and Joseph stayed at the Disneyland Hotel, compliments of Brian's company.
 |
| Monday we went to Huntington Beach where Rob used to surf in his teen-age years. It was chilly, as you can see everyone taking their time getting used to the water. The grandchildren eventually went all the way in! |
 |
| Rob, Megan, and Joseph watching from the beach. |
 |
| Brian gave Joseph Brian McEwan a beautiful blessing as the family all gathered together for that special time Monday night. |
 |
| Rob, Michael, and Joseph. There were 4 generations participating in the blessing. I'll be able to post that picture in the future, with Joseph, Brian, Michael, Rob, and Dad/Grandpa(Jack). | |

| Dad, Mother, Rob, Sandy visiting the local museum on Thursday. Michael & family had to head for home. |
 |
| After the initial shock of rocking and being WAY up high, Jack was able to smile at the top of the ferris wheel! |
 |
| More ferris wheel fun - we had to stick together for courage! |
 |
| He's the one who chose the cab that rocks! |
 |
| One of those dumb pictures you take of yourselves on a ride:) |
 |
| You ride a big tire on air and have to lean to make yourself move. |
 |
| Rob can always find an airplane to look at! |
|
|
 |
| We're on board the Midway aircraft carrier in San Diego. Here we are trying out the pilot ejection seats. |
 |
| Pilot Rob |
 |
| Ready for take-off! |
 |
| The navy band presented a concert on the birthday of the Navy. |
 |
| We heard 2 excellent lectures on taking off and landing on the aircraft carrier by a retired pilot who had done it. |
|
Well, a week in the great California weather had to come to an end. We took home some fun family memories!
