Carmen (and Christa and Brian) came to visit this evening.

The Toopher boys decided 1) they should attend Blues on the Green as a group and 2) they needed a way to find one another.  This flag is quite large… maybe 6 feet long.

At the end of each year I hand over my ID badge and work keys… I suppose just in case I vacation to Europe and never want to return.  Lack of keys = lack of work responsibilities… at least for a few months.

They hushed the crowd to do the best “unplugged” sound they could pull off in a huge amphitheater.  It actually turned out quite well.

We had our wonderfully amazing friends over for dinner one last time before our Europe trip.  Unfortunately, I was feeling close to death and didn’t want to even stand up, much less focus on taking a good picture.  So, here you go.

It was my last day with kids and what we thought would be Clara’s last day in town for a Trudy’s run before she tours with Drum Corps all summer.

My coworkers and I doing a “goodbye” wave picture for an end of year video I made.

Austin started a Sound & Cinema series of bands and movies in the park.  This was a Bowie cover band, which was followed by a showing of The Labyrinth.

and it’s gigantic!
