A visit to Gracie's classroom for Open House and to Scotland...

The official entrance to Scotland...

Gracie's picture is in this Scottish castle...

Gracie's report on Eric Liddell.
"Oh, Chariots of Fire"..."No daddy, he didn't ride in a chariot, he ran"

This might be Gracie's future CIA name.
or since it's Scotland...MI6 name

Too much Barfi

Looks like a plan to storm the castle

Gracie's desk

Just like daddy.
Grace's natural reaction when she saw what I did with her name

Hey!  That's me!

Grapefruits high above seem to want to mimic the sun.

Gracie's show

The story is about a little girl who lives in a village with lots of kids. She has many adventures singing and dancing. At one point she turns into a marionette with a few of the other girls, but she has so much fun singing and dancing, that she turns back into a real girl and then live happily ever after. At least...that's how this dad saw it.

While I was at the airport, this guy just about hurdled me on the way to his plane...

Current reigning US Gold Medal Decathlon winner and World Record holder...Ashton Eaton.

He's good friends with our friend Bryan...thus by accquaintence makes him our friend...right? Sure.

So, let me rephrase.  I saw our friend Ashton Eaton at the airport.  

Visiting Taylor's school for Open House...

The whole class made this Eifell Tower
with popsicle sticks

Taylor was proud to show us his work book

Taylor had photos of him working well with other students

An Orange Eifell Tower?

I knew he was my kid
when I saw that he was the only one that
used India's colors to make his art project
