Did someone ask for a clown? Hmmm??

We had a little "going-away" party for Brandon last weekend. He is going to visit his Nana for 10 days but I like to have a little send-off for him so he knows how special he is to us here, too before he leaves. Grandma broke out her facepaints. The woman is GOOD.

 Brandon sporting a pink unicorn. awesome.

 Derek be jealous! Too much facial hair, D!

 The cutest clown I ever saw. (Sorry, Scrappy!)

 The saddest clown I ever saw. OMG, blue unibrow- Awesomeness!

 Ladybug for the lady!

 Panda not pooping a rainbow. Enjoi.

 Super strong Dean!

 Pool shenanigans.

 Only a totally awesome amazing grandma would let you paint all over her arms like this. Totally. Most fun Kendall ever had.

Love you all, family! See you in 10, Brandon!

USS Midway with Grandpa TJ

We went on a tour of the USS Midway today with Grandpa, Uncle Derek, Aunt Shelly, and Dean. This was special because grandpa flew F-8s off two different aircraft carriers during the Vietnam War. He was on the USS Bonne Homme Richard (the 'Bonnie-Dick'), and the Hancock. It is very interesting to hear all the first-hand details about the carrier and all the planes...

 Here we are all posing in front of an F-8, just like the ones dad flew.

 We got a chance to sit in a trainer jet. This was the first plane that dad flew right out of school!

 After the Midway we had a quick bite in Seaport Village. Kaylee really enjoyed sitting with grandpa...and Kendall and Dean had a blast chasing the pigeons around at top-speed!

Happy Birthday/Father's Day, Dad! We love you.
