The Lighthouse

After Muir Woods we wanted to see a lighthouse we'd heard about called Point Bonita. It's quite a walk out to the lighthouse and we were just too late to cross the bridge and get to the lighthouse itself. (They close at 3:30). But the views were amazing!

We loved spending time with Grandma and Grandpa Kenney!

This is the view of the city and Golden Gate Bridge from the lighthouse.

What a great way for Erik to spend his birthday!

Posin'

The parking lot you use to get to the lighthouse has an old abandoned building by it. (I think it used to be part of a fort of sorts for WWII but I'm not sure.) It proved to be a fun spot for "artistic" photography. Here are some of my favorites.


Woot! He's ready for a GQ photoshoot for sure!

Muir Woods

Since my Parents and Brother's family came from Utah to see the show, we wanted to do a little sight seeing on Saturday. My dad loves the National Forests, and so we visited Muir Woods which is actually right outside of San Fran. It's a smaller park, but plenty of walk-ways and beautiful redwood trees. We'll be happy to take you there too if you come visit....

Go, Go, Go Joseph!

Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged. They day after I created my last post, Erik lost his job and that pretty much wiped out any desire to blog. But we are doing better now and I'm ready to blog! I'm just going to jump in where I'm at, and perhaps later I can catch up with the other stuff.

Most recently, we have been having a ball with "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". Our ward here in Danville does a musical every other year. The youth are the actors and the adults do the set, directing, producing, publicity, set building/painting, props (that's me), and even making meals and treats for the practices. The kids practice every mutual night (Wed.) and every Saturday for two months. We had sold out audiences for 3 nights. We raised $5000 for the CA organ donor network in honor of a boy from school who just received a heart transplant.

Look closely at the top pic to find Lauren. (Sorry about the big black head in the way of the majority of my pics!)She was the wife of one of the brothers. Isn't she cute!


Lexi was one of the Narrators. There were 5 girls with this job and they were all AMAZING singers! The girl in blue is Lexi's best friend here named Ariana. We love her because she makes Lexi want to stay! :)
Lauren and other "wives".


Rick was the Baker. Yes the poor Baker who asks for an interpretation of a dream while Joseph is in prison, but the news is not good...he is put to death. (To be resurrected the next night for the next show of course!)

All the kids did a fantastic job! We have felt very welcomed by this ward and it has made it easier for my teenagers to make the change.

Thanks to my parents, Dave and Cris for coming all the way from Utah to see it! A special thanks to Kriss and Ed for flying out to see it the last night! We love you all!
