Here are a few pictures from the start of summer 2013. It has been an eventful few days with the delivery of our boat, the roof close to completion on the addition, attending Jerry Hanacek’s service and having a family get-together with Grandma Ellen, Grandpa Art, Uncle Jim and Ron and Sal Miller.
At the Dammam Airport
At night you can barely see outside so Nora has to put her face up to the glass to see if she can see our plane. "Dad, how do you spell KLM?"
Sour
Nora looks apprehensive but was simply experiencing the congnative shock of thinking she had a mint when instead she had a sour candy.
Scientist
Nora has a host of science experiments she's planned for the summer. Here is her weather station where we'll collect data over the summer.
The boat!
The boat was dropped off right on time by Hayward Marine. Here we are tying up to the dock for the first time this summer.
Kai, Nora and Great Aunt Joan
The day after we arrived we attended a beautiful service for Ben's Uncle Jerry Hanacek.

Kai drives the boat
Last summer he was a Bosun's mate - this year with dilligence and application he may be promoted to full Bosun.
