CALIFORNIA FUN!



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).

Goofy was on hand for pictures:)

Rob riding the rockets!

Sandy on the ship.

We had a great spot to watch the Disney Parade:)
Evey waving at the princesses:)

I always like drummers in a parade!

Minnie was a favorite - she got lots of waves:)  

Rob & Michael rented wet suits so they could try a little surfing!

Mazy was up for surfing too:)

Mazy trying out the wave board with Michael:)

Don't know why this is sideways??

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!
