My favorite keynote address this year was Scott Hamilton, the ice skater. He was adopted as a baby and was very ill as a child, but persevered and become a much beloved Olympian Ice Skater.

We have the best family! It snowed Sunday morning making it difficult for us to get out with Evan. Our families brought us dinner in the late afternoon and we converged on the breakfast room (with permission of course). We enjoyed eating, playing games and talking together.<br />

On our way to back to finish packing up at the hotel we spied these workers taking down the awesome RootsTech sign. I hope those guys have good life insurance, looks like a scary job. Goodbye RootsTech until next year!<br />

Our kitchen is in disarray due to an unexpected renovation (water damage) so Katie graciously invited us to her house for Thanksgiving dinner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We enjoyed two fun days playing with their family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had to keep in pretty calm because Joshua broke is arm a few days before, and needed to still kind of keep in quiet, or at least try too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, we painted rocks, make a cool fruit turkey, watched videos together, did some serious lego building and went to the beautiful Los Angeles Arboretum. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some pictures and videos.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When you say the words forty-four years, it sounds like a very long time. How, then, has the time gone by so quickly. It is hard to believe we have been married for forty-four years. I am so grateful for such a wonderful husband.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a fun and full day celebrating our anniversary. We started out by going on a hike at Kerncliff Park. It was beautiful area that used to be the site of a quarry. We hiked a boardwalk over the wetland area, forested hilly area and escarpment. It was so peaceful and quiet. </div>

When we first arrived in Toronto, on our way to our rental we saw a huge white tent in Mississauga. We wondered what that was all about and just accidentally found out about this spectacular horse show <a href="https://cavalia.com/" target="_blank">Cavalia Odeysseo</a>. We thought that would be a fun thing to see for our anniversary. It was stunningly beautiful! I am so glad we went to see it! If you ever get an opportunity to see this show, DO IT!! </div>

On our third day in Ontario, we spent the day with my friend Jo-Anne. Our moms were best friends growing up and they stayed close through letters and phone calls into their eighties. They both grew up in <a href="http://www.brantford.ca/discover/Pages/default.aspx" target="_blank">Brantford, Ontario, Canada</a>. I had found an old letter Jo-Anne wrote to me many years ago in a box about a year ago. I decided to see if she was on Facebook and low and behold, I found her!! She remembered me and we became friends again, just like that!!<br />
<br />

This is a picture from 1959 when I last visited Brantford with my family. Jo-Anne and I are standing up in the back! The front row is Aunt Eva with Tim, my Dad, Lillian, Doug, Grandma Virginia and Fred Nelson. I guess my mom took the picture!<br />
<br />
Anyway, Jo-Anne still lives nearby in Hamiliton. She agreed to take us on a little tour of the old homes where our families lived.<br />
<br />
But, first we toured the <a href="https://www.hamilton.ca/attractions/hamilton-civic-museums/dundurn-national-historic-site" target="_blank">Dundurn Castle</a>, <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "roboto" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> a </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "roboto" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">40-room Italianate-style villa built in the 1830’s. It was pretty interesting to see how high society lived back in those days compared to the servants who lived in the basement! </span></div>

This was back in 1959! I have such fond memories of this visit. We picked fresh peas from her garden and ate them right then and there. Nothing better! There was a little market down the street and we would walk down and buy candy. </div>

Evan is away at camp and Mike and I decided to visit the Toronto area for our vacation this year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It just happened to be over Independence Day, so we decided that would be a good day to visit Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. We have been to the US side twice before, but never the Canada side. They light up the Falls and have a fireworks so show so, it was perfect!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We spent most of the day and had fun being tourists! </div>

Sometimes, life goes uphill. And. It. Is. Hard. Our uphill travels bring us strength. And, sometimes we only get strong when we do the hard part by ourself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last evening we went to the Grover Beach boardwalk. It is one of our favorite places to take a stroll especially on warm summer evenings. There is a rather big incline that Evan likes to do all by himself. Sometimes people look at us, like we are the meanest people in the world, because we don't help Evan up the hill. We don't help him because he wants to do it by himself. He knows it helps him get strong muscles. Sometimes, people just encourage him and say, "Great job! You can do it!" Usually, I walk backwards facing him, and chat with Evan as he rolls his way up hill and Mike is usually trailing behind him. </div>

Do you see that man in the blue hoodie down there talking to Mike? Well, he stopped and said to Evan, "Do you need some help?" And before Evan could answer he said, "Oh, I see what is going on. You must be strong willed. I see what you are doing. That is the most touching thing I have seen!" He was surprisingly very emotional about it. He said. "I really want to help you, but I see you need to do this!" Mike stopped and talked to the man for a while and Evan and I just kept going to the top! And then what a view! </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Life is that way too! There are hills to climb, some are very tough. We need to continue our uphill battles to get strength. We meet people along the way, sometimes they really want to help, but they know we will only gain the strength as we work things through on our own. But, we are really never alone. There are people here to encourage us. Sometimes, it's parents, sometimes friends and sometimes just strangers! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My family history research lately has been descendancy research. I come across little Marie Anna Pintal yesterday while researching a 3rd cousin of mine. She died at age 1 month due to spina bifida. I was shocked to see those words spina bifida on an 1889 death record!! What mixed emotions I felt! I am so sad for this family. I am just heartbroken especially for her mama. There was no treatment available for spina bifida back then, no surgery, no antibiotics to be prevent infection. Mostly likely Anna suffered a slow and difficult death. I wonder if her mom got to hold her and nurse her. I wonder if little Anna had hydrocephalus also. I hope her passing was peaceful and not painful.</div>

<br />
On the other side, I feel joy. Joy because when I heard the words spina bifida as a diagnosis for my son, I lived in a day and age of the miracle of modern medicine. Without surgery when he was infant Evan would NOT have lived very long, just like little Marie Anna, I feel Joy, because I was able to spend time with Evan today and watch him enjoy the great outdoors on his handcycle. He lives a full and busy life and is a just a delight! We are very blessed!<br />

I also feel joy for the Pintal family. Gideon and Emmerance had 15 children. Some died young, some lived long lives, some I don't know how long they lived. However, I know that they can be a forever family. And, what great joy they will feel to be together again!!</div>

It seems that Friday is the day that Mike and I take a nice hike somewhere on the beautiful Central Coast. We had to be in Morro Bay today to meet a Make-A-Wish family and decided to hike up <a href="https://www.hikespeak.com/trails/black-hill-morro-bay/" target="_blank">Black Hill</a>. We had not been up here in ages. While the view is still gorgeous, it was so sad to see all the downed trees. </div>

Today we went on a most unusual hike to <a href="http://www.sanluisobispo.com/sports/outdoors/article138352358.html" target="_blank">Cal Poly Canyon</a>. It was so beautiful with vivid green hills and water softly trickling down the creek. We have lived in this area literally for decades and heard of this hike but never taken opportunity to go before this morning. After hiking about a mile you come go through a large stone arch. This is the beginning of the Architecture Graveyard. They are just old student built projects.<br />

This was another interesting home. The dome on the right of the top picture and left of the bottom was an outhouse type building, that included a shower. <br />

It was hard to photograph the inside of the fancy outhouse. I especially like the little chimney-like things coming out of the roof! It made it seem whimsical. Like maybe little gnomes would live here! <br />

One more unusual thing, a folding card on the creek bottom. We could not even figure out how to get down there!!<br />

<br />
About 12 years ago I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Thank you, Mom AND Dad, it's in my DNA! I have been casually keeping an eye on it through the years. Exercising and watching what I eat to control it without meds seemed to work for the most part. For the last couple of years my A1C has been slowing getting higher and higher. I was told over and over again that as you get older you will be unable to control this without medication. I am very reluctant to add yet another med to the three I am currently taking to control blood pressure and cholesterol. Well, in late November with an A1C of 7.1 (that comes out to about an average of a 157 blood sugar) , I asked my doctor to please refer me to a diabetic nutritionist! She sent me see Kris Dilworth, who I actually saw when I was first diagnosed. She spent almost an hour with me in January and gave me suggestions on how to eat better and take control of this disease. <br />
<br />
She ordered me a new meter and I took to testing my blood sugar at least twice a day! I thought I could cheat once in a while and one evening had a blood sugar of 215!! Well, that scared me! And, I decided then and there, no more cheating, I am taking this disease seriously. Certain foods are just going to be poison to my body!! I started eating a low carb, high fat diet or ketogenic diet! I know it sounds weird. <br />
<br />
After two months, today I went back to see Kris and guess what? The low carb/low fat diet totally worked for me. My A1C was 6.0 which means an average of 125! And, I lost weight!! She said I made her day and she was impressed with my motivation! Of course, I hugged her and thanked her for her help!! Below is the little note that she sent home with me!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4gI5jEzm25QNbTyqSLEHRZOhA5ZljHYXpwavFbnHW9k90n3EhGqzhVrz4bPFcmrvdHlqVuA5th7uSKvMHUSzh7o1_enS9-m4eN7ooPckhbrxfmHxkCuERPrleXy5d8ftlODTntRi93TC2/s1600/A1C.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4gI5jEzm25QNbTyqSLEHRZOhA5ZljHYXpwavFbnHW9k90n3EhGqzhVrz4bPFcmrvdHlqVuA5th7uSKvMHUSzh7o1_enS9-m4eN7ooPckhbrxfmHxkCuERPrleXy5d8ftlODTntRi93TC2/s640/A1C.jpeg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
Sometimes, it is hard to eat this way. Especially, in social situations where high carb food is the norm and many times low carb foods and not available. That can be awkward at times. What is more important my health or being socially appropriate? Besides there are lots of delicious low carb foods that can be easily made at home. Have you ever had cauliflower pizza? It is actually very good! Yummy BERRIES are on the list along with DARK CHOCOLATE! What more could you need?<br />
<br />
I only have one body! I know that high blood sugar can cause damage to nerves and kidneys and eye sight and on and on! So, I am going to keep on moving and eating healthy for me! The support of my family has been very appreciated.<br />

Have you ever been in situation where you received news that was devastating? We have. Twenty-nine years ago we were told our unborn baby would be born with a serious birth defect. It is amazing how fresh those memories are in my mind. I was laying on the bed during the ultrasound, when the room got really quiet and the doctor's face just said it all without any words. We were shocked. How could this be! We felt alone and scared and just cried! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My how time heals. We have this amazing young man in our lives. Not to say life is not without challenges, but certainly the good out weights the bad. We are grateful for those who were put in our path to help us gain knowledge and ease the burdens. So, of course we are happy to give back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is why when our daughter Rachel shared the following flyer with us, we jumped at the chance to give back and share our story. </div>

I contacted Orange Socks and when we were in Utah we were interviewed. We want people to know that all lives are precious even little ones who will be born with birth defects. They should NEVER be discarded, but rather loved and embraced. There is much to learn from them! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We pray our story gives hope to others that find themselves in the same situation. </div>

We have had a really, really, wet winter. We need the rain desperately! So, it's a good thing. Yesterday's storm brought wind and a lot of rain!

<span style="font-size: large;">I am a small town girl. Crowds are not my favorite thing! So, why did we just travel to Salt Lake City last week to join tens of thousands of people in the Salt Palace Convention Center! I wanted to learn and be inspired and add a little fun too!! RootsTech 2017 did not disappoint! Somehow the crowds there don't bother me! It is the camaraderie I feel there, I think. Everyone is friendly and you can just strike up a conversation with anyone! I laughed and cried and learn a ton this week too! I was able to reconnect with some long time friends too!! Oh, and we have our two oldest sons in the area with over half of our sweet grandchildren! What is better than grandma time!! It was so fun to spend time with everyone!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We had a hard time deciding whether to drive or fly and we were watching weather reports closely. We finally decided it would be better to fly. We are not good drivers in the snow and on black ice. The flight there was my bumpiest flight ever! But, we made it safe and sound. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Tuesday was our day to explore downtown Salt Lake City. We were staying in a hotel right across the street from the Salt Palace Convention center, where the convention was held. This works out great for us because we didn't have a car and walked and rolled everywhere! The Salt Palace was all ready for RootsTech as you can see by the cool sign on the tower. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Tuesday night, David's family came to visit with us and have dinner together. We saw that there was <a href="http://www.bucadibeppo.com/" target="_blank">Buca Di Beppo's</a> just a few blocks from out hotel. That seemed perfect for dinner! Buca Di Beppo's is a fun Italian family style restaurant. We got to sit at the "Pope's table!!" I guess you can tell why they call it the Pope's table. It had a giant lazy susan in the center of the table and it was a domed alcove that had great acoustics so you could talk to the person sitting way across from you and actually hear each other! </span></div>

Now that is something that I think most family history researchers can use. And, I especially have conflicts! My second class was about finding information for Civil War ancestors. Lots of great information. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Wednesday evening, John's family came to have dinner with us! This time we went to the Garden Restaurant on the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. We had never been there before! What a beautiful view!! And such great company!! Aiden and Callan had fun checking everything out. Aiden played a great game of "I Spy" with me while waiting for our food! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The first full day of RootsTech started with a video about "what my grandma taught me". It made me really stop and think what kind of legacy I am leaving for my grandchildren. I personally didn't know any grandparent really well and that makes me sad, but I can help to leave memories for my own grandchildren. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Thursday night there was a special concert, "Music, It Runs in the Family" with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir! It was an evening filled with Rogers and Hammerstein music and narrated by his grandson! It was a delightful evening. We were able to meet up with a long time friend Judy Martin who is serving as a Church Service missionary at the Family History Library. It was so great to see her and her husband who was helping with security!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sunday evening our sweet daughter-in-law, Sariah, brought us homemade soup, salad and cornbread! Oh, and her family too! We enjoyed eating together and laughed our heads off playing the game, Things. It was hard to say goodbye to our family, but we will see them in the summer for family reunion! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This post is the second in my DASH series for #52Stories.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I have a confession to make about something I did really wrong as a young girl! I made cookies!! Oh, how I loved to make cookies. Oatmeal raisin and chocolate chips were my favorite cookies to bake! I was a dough eater too! Yummy! But that is NOT part of the confession. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So, why, may you ask was it so wrong for me to bake cookies? There was someone in my family who couldn't eat them because of type 2 diabetes. That person was my Dad. I would make these yummy cookies that would smell so good and be so tempting and then get mad at him for eating them!! I did NOT realize at the time how hard it is to look at yummy, fresh out of the oven treats and resist them! BUT. I. DO. NOW!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Fast forward fifty of so years, and guess who is dealing with type 2 diabetes? Yep, that would be me! I was diagnosed about 12 years ago and have tried hard to regulate my blood sugar with diet and exercise alone. And let me tell you it is HARD! As I am getting older it is getting more difficult to control and I now realize how hard it is to resist all the myriad of yummy goodies that are out there. Even a little cheating is not an option for me anymore. I feel bad that I put all that temptation in front of my dad and just expected him to be strong and pass them by! </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I am definitely learning empathy for those that have to eat differently. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am also learning some new strategies in dealing with diabetes and am feeling empowered to take better control of what I put into my body. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I just wish I could tell my Dad how sorry I am for putting temptations in his way. Somehow, I think he would understand. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We have been living in severe drought conditions for the past several years. While our drought is not over yet, so far this season we have had some great storms dump a LOT of water in our area. What a blessing!! Last night was no exception. As we wandered out this morning to check out the Pismo Beach Campground area, we were pretty sure we would find a lake! <span style="color: blue;"><b>And find a lake we did indeed!! </b></span> </span></div>

This project will help me to "define the dash", you know, that little dash that will be between the year of my birth and whatever year I die. It is on most headstones. That dash holds my life experiences. I want to be sure to write and share the events of my life. <a href="http://www.familysearch.org/" target="_blank">FamilySearch</a> is helping me to do that with the #52Stories Project. Once a week, I will share a story from my past. Each month there will be a theme and I have been given several choices of questions to answer. This month the theme will be "Goals and Achievements". I invite anyone who desires to leave a legacy to their family to join me. <br />
<br />
My first question is: what is your earliest memory of feeling proud of yourself - at school, in sports, in art or music, in a club or scouting.<br />
<br />
The very first musical instrument I learned to play was the french horn. I started in elementary school and did not play that instrument for very long because for one thing the instrument was loaned from the school and my family moved!<br />
<br />
When I was in 6th grade, attending Merced Elementary school, I started playing the flute! Oh, how I love the sound of the flute!! The music is just heavenly to me!<br />
<br />

<br />
I played in the orchestra at Hollenbeck Junior High and in the band my freshman year at Nogales High School and then we moved again and I played for two years in the Bassett High School Olympian band. Go Black and Gold!! We were a tiny band but we had fun! Our school had a piccolo and the band director let me play it!! My favorite thing to play was <i>The Star and Stripes Forever</i>, by John Phillip Souza. Oh, how I love the piccolo part in that piece with all the cool trills! So fun to play!!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I did not play in the band my senior year, but keep playing the flute on my own for many years after that. But, as with many things life got busy with raising children and I had less time to play. Rachel took up flute in middle school and when she left home for college I gave her my flute! I am glad it was passed down. But, if I had to do it again, I would have tried harder to keep playing. Not sure how much I could remember anymore, it is kind of sad to me. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">We decided this year to head to Mesa, Arizona to visit with Rachel and Joey for Christmas. The weather is much better in this part of Arizona in the winter than the sweltering summer. We headed out a couple of days late because Evan was sick. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">One of my favorite exhibits was the orangutans. There was family with a bashful daughter and a frisky little boy, a dad that didn't like to share, and a rather ambivalent mom. They were so funny to watch. They were behind glass and it was hard to get pictures, but they were so funny!! </span></div>

Usually, we would say 42 loooooong years. But, mostly we have been saying, how did 42 years fly by so quickly?? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Evan went to Camp Kelley Creek again this year and it happened to fall over our anniversary. <a href="http://www.catalinachamber.com/" target="_blank">Catalina Island</a> seemed like a fun place to go, so that is where we headed. We had been there six years ago and had fun. The only problem was the place we stayed. The hotel was up in a canyon, and our room was dark and felt like a cave. This time we researched vacation homes. We found a cute little apartment on <a href="http://www.vrbo.com/" target="_blank">VRBO</a> that was right on Avalon Bay, with a balcony that overlooked EVERYTHING!! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">On our anniversary we decided to hike the <a href="http://www.360cities.net/image/garden-to-the-sky-trail" target="_blank">Garden to the Sky</a> trail, with a trail guide from the <a href="https://us-mg205.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.partner=sbc&.rand=cqha1hjujumi8" target="_blank">Catalina Island Conservancy</a>. We ended up being the only two on the hike and had a great time with Colin, our guide. He was patient and walked slow, as the hike was steep for me. We learned a lot about the island and the view when we reached the top was incredible!! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Our evening activity was the Sundown Isthumus Cruise to Two Harbors. This boat, The Blanche W, takes people from Avalon to the other end of the island at Two Harbors. We had dinner in Two Harbors and hiked again at the isthumus, which is the narrowest part of the island, at half a mile. The widest part is eight miles. On the way back to Avalon we watched the sunset and viewed the flying fish!! It was a fun evening!</span><br />

I am so grateful for my wonderful husband and his unconditional love. We have survived lots of ups and downs together. Just like many families. I can't think of anyone else that I would want to be with for eternity. Thank you for 42 wonderful years, Mike. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We certainly enjoyed being with our family and spending time in Heavenly Father's creations. We felt really blessed that everyone arrived safely there and back home. Our trip home, however, was not without incident. Somewhere in the middle of the hot desert between Las Vegas and Baker we heard a noise and thought we had run over something. A little while later, the tire pressure warning light lit up. We stopped and one tire looked a little low. We decide to continue on, and heard another noise and it felt like we had a flat tire. We stopped again, the tire was still low, but not flat. We continued on to Baker to put more air in the tire and have it checked out. We were shocked to find out that a big chunk had come off our tire. Steel and thread was exposed. This could have easily been a tire that blew and we could have been in a very serious accident. We were able to get a new tire and continue on our way. So, grateful for Heavenly Father's watchful care over our family. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We felt like our family reunion was a success. It was fun to watch the cousins interact with each other. And, to see our children happy to spend time together again. We are all spread out over the West know, so it's hard to get together. We look forward to another reunion in two years. </span><br />

<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Saturday we became members of the <a href="http://www.projectsurfcamp.com/" target="_blank">Project Surf Camp</a> family! </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">I had heard about this camp from my friend Gretchen a few years ago, but never got Evan involved. I guess I just thought it wasn’t really for Evan. This year, I decided to call and tell them a little bit about Evan and see if it was possible for him for participate. I explained that he could not stand and was told that was not a problem they would love to have him come out and surf! So, I signed him up. What was I thinking?!? </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Other family members are invited to participate and April agree to give surfing a try too!! It made me feel better to know she was there also! What an awesome, sister!! </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">On camp day we drove up and got him signed in. We were meet by some of the most enthusiastic positive people you could ever possibly meet! </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">You need to know that Evan has lived a mile from the ocean all his life. Surfing is kind of a way of life here! Evan’s peers at church surfed! A lot! I was all of a sudden flooded with memories. Memories of Evan being on the sidelines. Actually, one particular event where Evan was, well, I guess you could say uninvited to his young men’s (church youth group) activity. They were going to the beach to surf! I just wanted Evan to be able to watch. But, everyone wanted to be in the water and no one wanted to sit with him on the beach they all wanted to be in the water surfing. Talk about being excluded. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">So, when Katy, Project Surf Camp director, said, “Evan <span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><i>WILL</i></span> surf today!” I was hit with unexpected tears. I shared with her the experience of being left behind, and she said, “You are a part of our family now!”. Wow! Really, a family! Katy said, don’t worry, we cry every day here! We are here to support you! Really!! </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Evan was lovingly fitted with a wetsuit! Try putting on a wetsuit in a wheelchair! It didn’t phase these people at all! In no time at all they had that wetsuit on him and he was ready to go. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">The plan was for Evan to sit on the surf board and someone would hold him from behind. That was Hannah, a high school student. (Young people sometimes get a bad rap these these days, but I want you know there was a whole slew of awesome young people volunteering their time to help people with special needs that day.) There was also someone behind the surf board and two spotters on the side making sure the surf board stayed straight and to grab Evan in case he fell off. April got to be one of his spotters. By the way, Evan NEVER fell off! </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Emotions flowed watching Evan catch that first wave. He had a great big smile on his face! I can’t tell you how many waves he caught! He had a blast! And we were thrilled. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1">Project Surf Camp’s motto is <span style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>“<i>changing lives</i>”</b></span>. Thank you for changing ours. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">How is it that Evan is so famous? His handsome face just keeps popping up all over the place. Here is the latest addition:</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">This came as a postcard to my house much to my surprise! I had never seen the bowling picture before. I don't even know when or where this picture was taken! It was also in a local weekly newspaper, <a href="http://www.newtimesslo.com/" target="_blank"><i>The New Times</i></a>. </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But it doesn't bother me. I am happy to support United Cerebral Palsy. They do much in our community for people with all types of disabilities. We appreciate their support of Evan's power soccer team the <a href="http://ucp-slo.ucplabs.org/affiliates/sports-without-limits/slo-dragons" target="_blank">SLO Dragons</a>! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">So we are going to be doing lots of walking and rolling the next month. Mike, Evan and I along with our friend and Evan's former teacher Karen Beatty have formed a team for UCP's World Challenge.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The challenge is exercise an equivalent of at least 10,000 steps a day. This could be cycling, swimming, wheelchair rolling, yoya or whatever. It will help us to be healthy and support UCP at the same time. Yesterday our team put in </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;"><strong>43,907</strong></span>
steps! I think that is a great start. To start your own team or to donate you can click <a href="http://www.worldcpchallenge.org/" target="_blank">here</a> or the logo above. </span></span></div>

Don't you think that a 40th wedding anniversary deserves something special? Mike and I have been talking about going to Hawaii for several years now. We just kept putting it off. Partly, because of my fear of flying across the big ocean. And, partly because, well, we didn't quite know when to go. It gets a little complicated for us to be flying off to places with Evan. When we realized that <a href="http://centralcal.easterseals.com/site/PageServer?pagename=CACN_PS_campharmon" target="_blank">Camp Harmon</a> (a special needs camp, Evan has attended the last few summers) had an eight day camp session available this year we decided this just might be the right time for us to actually go to...<br />

So, on July 31st, we dropped Evan off at camp and headed to the San Francisco Airport. I had to pray really hard not to let my anxiety get the best of me. Luckily, the flight was smooth and I didn't embarrass myself or my sweet husband. We got into Honolulu, fairly late at night, and settled into a nearby hotel for the first night in Hawaii. The next day we would head up to stay on the North Shore. We actually had found a little vacation rental right on the beach in Laie!! I knew I wasn't much for the big city and Waikiki didn't really sound that fun to me, so Laie seemed like the perfect spot!<br />
<br />
Before heading to the North Shore we decide to check out Pearl Harbor. Wow, is there a lot to see at <a href="http://www.pearlharborhistoricsites.org/" target="_blank">Pearl Harbor Historic Sites</a>. We started with a tour of the battleship the USS Missiouri or "Might Mo". This ship is massive!! We were able to tour the deck and the interior. Talk about getting lost. It would be easy to do in the belly of that thing. I only have admiration for the men who served on board that ship especially Captain William M. Callaghan. A <a href="http://amarillo.com/stories/041301/usn_kamikaze.shtml" target="_blank">Kamikaze pilot</a> tried to attack the "Mighty Mo". His plane crashed into the side of the "Mighty Mo" causing a fire, the bomb was a dud. Luckily, no one aboard was injured. But, the body of the Japanese pilot was found aboard and the sailors were just going to throw him overboard before the Captain stopped them. He said that he was young and serving his country just like they were. He ordered a traditional burial at sea with military honors. What a wise Captain. I was very touched by that story. <br />

Next we went on the USS Bowfin, a World War II submarine. I don't know how anyone can survive in a submarine. I would have claustrophobia. <br />

Right by the Bowfin there was an submarine museum. We wondered around for a while and then were surprised by this display about U.S.S Halibut. This was the submarine Mike served on in the Navy. Except, it was decommissioned and then recommissioned before Mike served on it. It's an interesting submarine because it was used for spy missions. Of course, I didn't know that when Mike was on it. <br />

We left Pearl Harbor and were excited to drive to the another side of the island. We really hadn't seen the pretty part of Oahu yet. It didn't take long before were were driving through the green mountains. And then before we knew it we were on the other side of the island. We found our little rental and settled right in! Before the evening was ended though we headed across the street and Laie's little theater. There we meet up with some old friends of ours from California who run the theater. it was great to catch up with the Neilsen's again. </div>

Our first full day in Laie we decided to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center. This place did not disappoint. We had a tour guide TJ who was so funny! He made it so enjoyable and we learned a lot about the culture of the different islands too! <br />

My favorite Island show was at the Aoteraroa Village. The warrior dancers were scary with their eyes bugging out and they stuck out their tongues. We were able to play games they would play on the island and participated in a ritual ceremony. <br />

For dinner we attend a Samoan Luau. The fire twirler was just a young teenager but he was phenomenal. We decided to just enjoy and not take pictures, so you will just have to believe me. <br />
<br />
<br />
The evening show, "Ha, Breath of Life" was just awesome, they had fun with fire there too! I would highly recommend the Polynesian cultural center if you are ever on Oahu. <br />

When we were finished at the Botanical Garden we decided to drive to the Dole Plantation. But, it was Saturday and there was stop and go traffic. Yes, on Oahu!! So, we turned around and went back to the rental to just play in the water and walk along the beach. It was a smart move! <br />

It was fun to see the kite surfers. They didn't have to wear wetsuits like they do here in California.<br />

In the distance is Goat Island. We were told you could walk out there during low tide. But, it still looked a little dangerous and we are not strong swimmers, so we decided to look from a distance. <br />

This morning we had lots of choices of things to do. We decided after breakfast to just stay at the beach and play. The sweet owner of our rental unit had left fun things for the beach including snorkeling equipment. So, we gave that a try and what a great morning we had!! <br />

Mike got pretty good at snorkeling. I was better with just the mask. I just didn't have my head under for so long, but did get to see lots of cool things. It was very relaxing to just swim in the ocean and enjoy the beauty. Most of the time we had the beach and ocean just to ourselves. This is a morning I will remember for a long time. <br />

We decided after lunch to go back to the Polynesian Cultural Center. The tickets we had bought on Friday allowed us one day of general admission for <span style="color: #cc0000;">FREE</span>. So, we could wonder to our hearts content and see the shows we missed. I am so glad we did! <br />

We would soon be saying, Aloha to Hawaii. We packed and headed to Honolulu to have a late breakfast with Tim before heading to the airport. We had a great vacation. Everyone should probably go to Hawaii at least once in their life. It is a magical place indeed! <br />
