Grammy FEST 2010

Happy Birthday Mumphie-Grammy-Sande!!!! The last weekend in June, the Fisher's hosted everyone at their home, in Davis (7 adults & 5 kids). We celebrated Mumphie's birthday (and impending retirement) with a day at the city pool and a big birthday dinner potluck topped off with cake and pie. After dinner, we seized the opportunity to get a picture of Grammy with all five of her grandkids (Kurt, Karl, Katya, Izze, and Mickey). Everyone played hard and ate hearty, leading to early bedtimes for all that evening.

Here are a few pictures I took at the pool. The pool is an example of Davis's commitment to city parks/recreation; it has a swirly water slide/lap pool, a little kid water park, a large kiddie pool, and pool with a high dive-low dive. Not all in our group were brave enough to go up into the "death zone." High dive photos: please feel free to vote on who has the best form. Photo 1=Dr. Adventure; Photo 2=Katya (click to enlarge); Photo 3=Jamie (click to enlarge). The little girls really took to the water; I was with them alot so didn't get any photos.



Amanda and Karkleberry
Sunday early morning craft time--pens, paper, glue=paper airplanes. Later followed by connecting 2 linear miles of glow sticks. Topped off with deluxe waffles.


Jamie and the girls at breakfast

Sunday morning, Amanda and Ross went on a road ride out Putah Creek and enjoyed the day before temps hit 100. After Scott, Jamie, and the girls headed out, Amanda-Ross-Kurt-Katya-E biked over to Hamster-Wheel Park. I took a photo of Katya and Kurt on the barf pole.


As usual the time together was a hit. You can see that Kurt and Katya were not keen on being split up when it was time to go.

Thanks Mike & Amanda. Looking forward to the next get together.
