Pacific Airshow 2021
On Saturday, October 2, 2021, eight of us went to the Pacific Airshow at Huntington Beach. The viewing area was a long stretch of the beach. All of us went except for Victoria (who had to work).
The Air Force Thunderbirds, Canadian Snowbirds, and Navy Blue Angels all performed along with a number of others. The crowd was estimated at 1.5 million people!
It was sunny and warm (temps in the 80s). A few of us got a bit too much sun.
Postscript. Due to an oil spill just off the coast, the Sunday show was canceled.

Josiah at Sheep Hills
Josiah has enjoyed fixing up Jason’s old BMX bike. He’s learning to do wheelies and some tricks on it. There is a near-by dirt park for BMX bike riders that he really loves going to.
Here is a seven-second video clip from July 24, 2021.

The Lord’s Prayer
On Sunday, June 20, 2021, Warner Avenue Baptist Church had a Scriptorium–an event where different individuals and groups of individuals quoted verses from a section of the Bible. This evening it was Matthew chapters 4 through 7.
The Lord’s Prayer is Matthew 6:9-13. Instead of quoting the verses, Victoria, Sarah, and Joanna sang them…quite beautifully. Lizzie played the piano for them.

Ed and Nicole are engaged
On Saturday, Ed flew down from the Bay Area. Although his flight was delayed (first due to a bird strike and then to an engine problem), he finally arrived at John Wayne Airport and then our house around midafternoon. Around 4:00 PM, we finally leave from Laguna Beach to go on a hike (El Moro Canyon).
Unbeknownst to Nicole, Ed had already purchased an engagement ring and was planning to propose on the hike at the top of the hill. Also Ed’s brother and his wife had driven down from Sacramento the day before. They planned to hike to the top and hide so that they could be a part of the big event.
The hike is quite strenuous.
On the way to the top, Ed decides on a change of plans. So he stops at a scenic spot, gets on one knee, and proposes. Most of the group (including Ed’s brother and sister-in-law) end up missing the occasion.
Victoria messages the group and we hike back down to meet up from pictures.
We spend a little time taking a lot of pictures.
We got a family picture (though Jason, Hannah, and Evelyn aren’t included).

We then hiked back down.
Afterwards we drove back to South Coast Plaza for a celebration meal at Claim Jumper’s restaurant.
Because Nicole’s birthday was the next day, she got a mini-birthday cake. We also got a slice of the classic Motherload Cake to share with all.
