Exercising on the American River Trail

This was one of my favorite pictures of the exercise experience on the trail. Tyler was waiting patiently for refreshments... A beautiful view from the trail...

Giving up the wait for refreshments and heading to the halfway point (the bridge at the University), crossing the bridge to the other side and then heading back along the opposite side of the river. Tyler was biking the entire 5 miles and we were jogging/walking. FYI Chase was in the jogger being pushed by either his mom or Aunt Jenna.
Rob trekking along the trail...
Not sure why I'm so excited...I've still got about 2 miles to go!
Crossing the American River at the Watt Avenue bridge and looking down the river the way we came.
The end is almost in sight!
Chase came down the path to encourage his grandma to the finish line. Everyone else (Kate, Ryan, Tyler, Jenna and Rob) are already there. This is where I'm supposed to raise my hands and hear the cheers from the crowd as I cross the finish line. In actuality, I was just glad to finish! :)

The "Watch Dragon"

Some homes have a watch "dog" protecting their homes from burglars and thieves, but our home is equipped with a two-headed dragon with a little dragon for good measure. Tyler, my grandson, created this combination by propping the dragon's tail with his boot so the dragon could balance on the windowsill and look out the window to protect our family from the bad guys/girls! Kate suggested that we get a picture of our protectors and I didn't realize that there was a little dragon sitting on one of the dragon heads until I took this picture! Pretty cool, Tyler! Thanks for helping take care of the family!

Scary Halloween Office Pics

Here is a picture of the Brown, Fink, Boyce & Astle, LLP sign that Jen worked on with all the spider webs! Notice the spider on the corner of the sign -- spooky! This was one of the first pictures that I had taken with some of the office spooks. There's Tina, the angel, me the Hello Dolly woman or Mary Poppins', Jen the vampire and Kathy, the witch :)
The office really went to alot of work - even got a few "head" hunter supplies for the table.
Our scary vampire, Jen. Check out those teeth!
Me with one of the ghouls in the conference room - wanna dance? Hmmmmm - no thanks!
This was one of the great additions to our conference room.
Bonnie (Jill) from Bonnie and Clyde!
Here is our resident used car salesman - Great costume, Ben!
Check out our hippie, Elena and again our witch, Kathy.
We really had a lot of fun this year with Halloween in the office. So many of us dressed up for the event which really made it alot of fun. Then the Halloween Committee did an excellent job planning and decorating for this event. Thanks, Jen, for editing some of my pictures and making them so great - appreciate it! This was a recruiting event and we had about 20 recruits, also dressed in costumes, going through our office and meeting all of the employees and partners.
