Kelly, Jay, Kerri & Nikki are in much in thought during a "Scattergories" championship game.Kerri and Jay donated several Disney Park Hopper passes to our family, which was a great Christmas present! Jay has worked at Disneyland for over 6 years now and Kerri at Airflight in Long Beach.
Nikki, Kerri and Lindsay taking a break before dinner. Hey, when is Lindsay's front tooth going to come in????

Grandma Sandy hard at work in her gourmet kitchen! She enjoys cooking and is a Wonderful Cook! I can't wait again for another visit!!

All the Fenn girls at the home of Dave's Sister, Liz. Kimmy, far right, surprised the family and flew down from rainy Gig Harbor for the baby shower.
This must be some girl thing..blindfolding Kerri as my Grandson (Landon, who is still cooking) and Kristin looks on.

Kimmy and Jennifer Anderson (extended Fenn family from California) and classmate of Dave from Brethren High School. This writer chose not to list the year we graduated. Dave couldn't make it for the baby shower as he had a Navy drill in Spokane. He did not enjoy the 22 degree mornings!
More photos to follow!!

On November 11th, my Dad and Nephew Evan, attended a "High Twelve" lunch meeting. Dad was the outgoing president and received a very nice plaque. If you would like to know more about "High Twelve", you can visit this website: www.high12.org.
I couldn't miss the opportunity to get a photo with my nephew, Evan Sue. He is a Tenderfoot Scout and has completed most of his requirements for Second Class. I was fortunate to become an Eagle Scout with Long Beach Area Council Troop 212 in 1971 and will be looking forward to going to Evan's Eagle Court of Honor one of these days. He along with many other scouts from his troop, got up early this morning and put out hundreds of flags on veterans graves. We need to always remember the sacrifices of our veterans!

Lindsay works her magic as she walks across a "tightrope" in Wii Fitness. I think I might have to ask for this game for Christmas.
Nikki and Ashley are deep in thought as they compete on a hot new "Wii" game. Ashley beat me twice so I had to give my steering wheel over to Nikki who did much better!

This afternoon our girls visited their Cousins Ashley and Evan at their home in Cerritos California. It is so nice to be closer so they can spend time together.

Grandpa Fenn and Lindsay enjoy some good conservation and, of course dessert (vanilla ice cream, fresh strawberries and raspberries and of course, low calorie chocolate syrup).
Grandma Sandy is an accomplished artist and helped Nikki with her sketching.



Sunset in Seal Beach after another warm day. This sure beats Camp Shelby Mississippi!

We stopped by and played a round of golf with the girls just off the 405 freeway today. Both did great and it must be from the expert golf advice from Grandpa Johnson! Although at the 12th hole, the ground ate Lindsay's ball and it was never seen again.
We stopped for a couple of hours at the pier in Seal Beach. The weather was in the mid 80's and abit windy, but the girls didn't mind the surf at all. We are all enjoying Southern California!

We arrived today at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach. The RV park is very large, the sites are huge and the laundry is free! My life has changed now from crime scene management to finding the best deals on washing and drying the laundry. We will be staying here for a month and this will give us time to visit with our family, (my sister Liz and her family, my daughter Kerri and her husband and my Dad Sam and stepmom Sandy).

The weather has been great and in the 80's. Back at home (Gig Harbor) it has been getting cooler and wetter as usual. Of course, we will have to make a trip to the Long Beach Aquarium, a drive down the Pacific Coast Highway and an early Christmas present (2 day park hopper pass to Disneyland).

Halloween at Pt Mugu









































Wow, Halloween at Pt Mugu! This is the first time in our 28 years of marriage that we took the kids out in 67 degree weather! No coats, mittens, hair wraps or snow boots! We all like this warm weather and can't wait until December in Arizona. We shopped for candy for 2 hours and the girls also inadvertantly went into a "make shift haunted house", accompainied by Dad of course who quickly used his Boy Scout tracking skills to get them out of the house without injury. They both filled their halloween bags and had to count each piece when we got back home.
