July 2005

Hello everyone. Sorry for slacking again. Hey, I'm only 4 months behind! Here are the July 2005 pictures:

We took the kids to Busch Garden (again). Grift bought them those glow in the dark mouth pieces. Very unnecessary, I know, but they had fun with it.


This is a kids' glider ride.


They could use that bar to go up and down. The only trouble with one bar is that they had to compromise.

The kids and I went to the fireworks display on base. As you can see, it was the perfect place to take their glow in the dark mouthpieces.


This is one of my favorite pictures of the fireworks.


...And another one.

Here we were just goofing around with the camera in the front yard.


The Shaw kids are hams, like their dad!

Grift conducted an informal combatives class on a Sunday afternoon, so the kids and I tagged along. I think this was one of their warm up exercises.


The kids did it too. They'd see what the grown-ups were doing and then tried their best to copy them.


Kids are so funny.


Here they pulled out the gloves and started knocking each other around.

This summer was extremely HOT. The kids loved getting in their pool. Here are Sarah and Tyree with their neighbor friends (Nadia, Nikki and Victoria).

Tyree can almost always be found doing one of three things outside: finding rocks, playing with sticks, or climbing on something. He's standing on the neighbor's play house roof in this picture.
