FALL BREAK

One of the great advantages to living in Arizona, is fall break. I had a week off from school and didn't go anywhere! Carl and Megan went on a belated anniversary trek to New York City, and I got to babysit Aidan. We had a fun four days together. We went for walks, 'talked,' and hung out. Dan also 'celebrated' his '78 Land Cruiser's birthday on October 9. Don't ask him about certain birthdays, but he knows the day he bought his toy. He is finally giving it a much needed overhaul. Right now he is working on containing/controlling the incredible amount of rust. He is putting in new seats and enjoying his hours of 'tinkering.' I'm looking forward to riding in it again.

The Cruiser is 30! Dan slightly older!

Is he cute-- or what!

Grandpa Dan has the uncanny ability of

scaring his grandkids!
