More pictures of California


Maddox loved the Pacific. Here is the "I love the ocean" dance. We went to the beach three different times and he loved every minute of it. He would run straight into the waves without fear. Just wait till he can swim on his own and then we will swim to Catalina.





Here is Karen and Grant. Grant and Maddox would throw sand everywhere, especially on the towels just after we sat them down. Kerri and Dianne would have a hissy fit about sand getting on there precious blankets.





Here is Fatticus and Cozmo. Can you guess which one is 3 months older than the other? Bennett even weighed almost 4 pounds more than Cozmo. Not that you can't tell by the enormous cheeks that extend to his forehead or anything. Watch out Cozmo, Fatticus may roll over and each you as a midday snack.




Why the hell is mine the one who is naked and where did I adopt this hispanic boy. To make sure people know he was born in this country, I will buy him rebel flag pajamas and t-shirts.






Cozmo sure did like the double stuff oreos at the beach. Kerri would constantly remind me about only introducing 1 new food a week to Bennett. Riddle me this, how many new foods are in a small fistful of sand? Cosmo on the other hand would eat anything that was in front of him including anything Grnat or Maddox would drop while running around.

A view of things to come



Because the best way to grill hot dogs over a fire at Huntington Beach is to use Dad's stainless steel, 3 prong spear. After all, it was brand new in 1964 and has been stored in immaculate condition in the garage.




What can I say, I love meat. Not to mention the flavor provided by those prongs. We in the Swift family appreciate only things that enliven the palate. The delicatessen dogs could only have been appreciated by someone who has experienced the rare, tender delight of expertly seasoned 14 year old frozen crow. CAW CAW Let me pass into the next world and out of this frozen hell. CAW. All said and done, I ate 4.
