Family San Diego Trip

Dad, Mom, Mike, Holly, Carter, Allison, and I all went to San Diego for an extended weekend from 9/9 (Friday) through 9/12 (Monday). While it's still quite warm here in the Phoenix area, it was nice to have temperatures right around 70 degrees on Coronado Island. We all stayed at the Navy Lodge right on the beach, so it was great to wake up to the ocean every day! Below are just a few pictures from the trip. Thanks to Dad and Mom for making it all possible! And since I only have a few pictures (and none with everyone), perhaps Mom can add a few from her camera here soon :)

Great Grandpa's Birthday Party!!!

Here are some random pictures from Great Grandpa's (Dad, Grandpa. Lowell) 80th Birthday celebration that was held at the Galva Fire Department on Sunday, July 31st. His actual birthday was July 28th! We all enjoyed visiting with old friends and family. It was a busy day as the Galva Christian Church held a "Old Time Church" service and then the Alemore clan got to together at the Galva Senior Center for their annual Cousin's Club Lunch! We were all tired by the end of the day!
