the end of the road

Heather and I decided to take my dad to Santa Monica Pier on the last evening of his visit to California. The historical value of the pier was that historic route 66 started in Chicago and ran directly into the Santa Monica Pier. So we had a nice evening at a mexican restaurant called Marisco's on the very edge of the pier. It also has an amusement park called Pacific Park that is located on the pier and we had an opportunity to let Lyndi go on some of the rides. She is definitely bound to be a roller coaster fanatic as much as she loves to go on rides and holds no fear. I'm sure we'll have many vacations to Cedar Point once she meets certain height requirements... until then, cheers to Santa Monica.

A Beautiful Mind

Lyndi recently recieved a package from her fairy god mother (aka. grandma bishop). We have noticed that Lyndi goes through various phases where she lives out the lives of female disney characters. She was Tinker Bell for some time and she has recently made the transformation into Cinderella, thanks to the aid of Grandma B. ...and that one guy. So a big thanks goes out to the bishops for the "glass" slippers that are left lying around the house :) However, it is wonderful to watch Lyndi exercise her imagination and creativity. She truly is my beautiful little princess.

Race Day

My dad was able to make his way out to So. Cal. this weekend so we decided to hit an IRL race at Fontana Speedway. I must say that I really enjoyed it. Most of you know that I'm a big NASCAR fan but I enjoyed the race... but i'm not ready to convert yet! The engines scream at a much higher pitch than the stock cars in Nascar do. I had to take a break part way through the race to give my ears a break. All in all it was a good day and the rain didn't cancel the event. I've posted some pics below for your enjoyment.

Greetings. If you are visiting our site and thinking... "Hey, something's different" then your absolutely right. I was editing our blog over the weekend and accidently erased all the other posts. So, instead of re-writing all the posts that I created, i'm simply going to post the best-of the-best pics and move on. Also notice the links that I created to the right hand side. The A.D. Community is the young adult ministry that Heather and I are leading. I also added a link to keep all of you updated on my schooling at APU. Enjoy.
