Video of 1st time drivers



We took the Chinese students to my brother Randy's house for a BBQ. They have never driven before.
I thought you might enjoy this video.

Our Chinese students arrived as our grandchildren left

We have been blessed to have 4 wonderful graduate students from Shenzhen University with us for almost a month. We will be sad to see them leave on August 3rd.

Christian, Nate, Stuart and Andy Come for a visit.

We went to the Hands on Children's Museum one day.
This is the coolest water feature where you can dam things up and float toys down the river. We played in the water for a long time.


It was so much fun to have the cousins together.


Stuart wants a beagle. He found this stuffed one in the play veterinarian office and treated it like it was real.

4th of July 2010










We have had a very busy July. We brought Christian and Nate back to Washington with us when we left Arizona. Kami and Ian dropped Andy and Stuart off and the cousins had a great time together. We celebrate the 4th of July together.

Christian loved the bottle rockets

Andy and Stuart were not so sure about the noise

Grandpa is in heaven. He build some launchers for the bottle rockets.
Alex and Grandpa Acheson consulted..."Is this safe?"


Great Grandpa Acheson is always happy to have his great grandchildren visit!

Grandpa and Truman made a cart for the Cub scouts


Megan wanted to have her cub scouts build these soap box cars, so Grandpa and Truman built the model and Hazel helped test it.
