We
went to Oxnard Beach Park for our annual family outing, our first without
Pop. It was on Sunday, August 7, 2005, which was John's birthday, so we
celebrated that as well. Again, we had a bunch of lobster, crab,
and steak, but this time we had the added bonus of a rich triple-layer
chocolate birthday cake thanks to Susan, John's mother and Gladys's
mother-in-law. Jim barbequed the amazing steaks. Abigail's parents-in-law,
Richard and Josephine, were able to join us as well, and they brought the
wonderful fruit--including fresh lychee imported from China! Although Denny
wasn't able to come, Sig's friend Dave was a great addition (especially
since he brought some balls to throw around and his joining in allowed us to play 3-on-3 touch football). This time there are pictures of the siblings tricycle
biking and playing around on the grass and beach. All photos were taken by
John's father and Gladys's father-in-law, Jim (except for one, but it was still taken with his new digital camera).
