What!?! Miu and Small World!

 So so so wild to be in the LA Airport and have some small world connections.  First, Micah was pretty sure he passed Jayden Daniels (Commanders QB) in the terminal - and he did confirm that he is in the LA area. 

 Then, as we were boarding our flight to Vancouver, none other than Miu, Rania's ISKL dance team partner, was on the same flight - heading from seeing UCLA, USC and California area schools - to Vancouver to see UBC and UVic.  WILD! That triggered an immediate photo-send to Ms. Palko!

 

Pool Time

 How wonderful to spend the evening together around the swimming pool, enjoying laughter, connections and sharing some of the fun memories from the last few days. 

 

Santa Monica Pier

 We had a great time visiting Santa Monica Pier and enjoying some time in the water and in the sun.  

 

I did one more take of Karen's requested superhero film clip. Wow, somehow in my mind, this would be a bit more dramatic - and not take so incredibly long - at least in real time. Ha! Karen will turn it into magic, no doubt.  

 

Zacho Goodbyes

 Alas, it is nearly time for Gabi to say goodbye to Zacho and make her way to Vancouver for the start of the cruise.  She is enjoying time on Eccelston for the time being, though. 

 

Superhero MS Silliness

 This is the raw footage for Karen Palko's request of doing something super-hero-ish over the summer. 

 

Hollywood

 Fun to walk around Hollywood, including a mall that had some good views of the famed hillside. 

 

Hollywood Stars

 Pretty fun to be in downtown Hollywood seeing so many of the stars and walking around so much history and memorabilia. 

Pretty cool to learn (remember?) that Joanne Woodward was one of the original four stars that began the legendary walk. 

 

Eli's Grad Event

 The smaller graduation event was a pretty wonderful Sunday afternoon event, followed by picturesque setting for getting some family shots. 

 

Zoey & Gabi

 How wonderful that Gabi got to connect (again) with Zoey and spend part of the day with her.
