Nine IS Fine!

Griffin turned 9 today!

 He opened presents

 He got a compass; then instructions to follow to find his last present:

That made one happy boy!

Then we went to the beach

 He caught sand crabs

 Quinn went out to catch a few waves

 Griffin followed his lead

 Oh, we saw Wonder Woman and Captain America!

 He got his birthday cake

Yellow cake with white frosting with some of the cake with no frosting.

So many candles on fire, you can't see the cake!

One Fish, Two Fish

Tonight's dinner was provided by Christopher!!

Those fish, in the previous posts, a little portion was shipped to our house.

I grilled some of it up tonight! Yummy, tasty dinner.

Thanks, Christopher!!

Dracula?

This is how Griffin enjoys S'mores!

 All gone. I don't think he had anymore.

Sewing Bee!

This is Kylie's 2nd item of clothing that she has ever sewn.

We started at 8:00pm.

Look at the clock behind her...

9:10pm DONE!

We shopped for fabric after dinner; came home and sewed!

 A close up

Yes, they are skulls.

What the HALIBUT!

Between the 6 of them, they caught 600 pounds of Halibut!

Happy faces!

Fish, Anyone?

Between 6 fishermen

they caught 70 lbs of Halibut

and

150 lbs of salmon -

all in ONE day

Oh What do YOU Do in the Summer Time?

Christopher goes fishing - in ALASKA -

Looking good!

Our Meal AFTER the Drop Off

We usually go and eat at Chili's after a missionary drop off, but this year we ate at Chili's the night before the drop off so we wanted something different. The eating helps take our mind off of the missionary that we just left! We decided to go a little more upscale and we found this Japanese Steak house! It was very good.

 Griffin asked to finish everyone's fried rice! He loved it!

Quinn enjoyed eating off of Kylie's plate.

Hmm, I wonder what we did next....
