Snowmobiling Adventure

We took Lise-Maria snowmobiling.  She's from Norway and she's never been!  She had a blast.

Maritime in San Diego

While in San Diego, we went to the San Diego Maritime Museum.

I think the highlight was the Russian Sub.


Sarah at the periscope.

Russian torpedos.

"ommmm"

Shannon and Brandon found a place to hide. The bunks for the sailors were really small!

Go Norway!

A New Year's Road Trip - Flight over Sacramento

Shannon's cousin Mike is a pilot and he took the kids out for a spin in a Cessna over Sacramento. It was a little foggy, but they had a good time.


Mike, Lise-Maria, Ben, and Sarah

I don't know who is more excited, Mike or Lise-Maria?



Lise-Maria loved her trip. She said she wants to learn to fly now!

Emily can't wait to fly!

Brandon and Emily checking out the view.



A little turbulence, Brandon lost a tooth!

A New Year's Road Trip - CA State Capitol, Sutter's Fort

Then after stopping by the Jelly Belly Factory for a tasting and tour, we went to the California State Capitol in Sacramento. We also visited the California State Railroad Museum in Old Town Sacramento. On the way home we stopped by Sutter's Fort.

"Look! There is the train!"

"I don't use stairs!"
