A tree fell over at the Thurman's house so Brandan and Gibson went to help clean up. From the left are Malachi, Grace, Gibson and Ed.

On Monday we hiked up Pilot Rock. Someone, not any of us, scratched C + A into the metal lid of the hike register box.

The hike up to the base on Pilot Rock is fairly easy, Becky stayed below on the trail while Abe, Cece and Gibson climbed the rock. They are about halfway up this photo.

Here we are together after they climbed back down from the top.

Abe dropped Cece off at the airport on Monday afternoon. Abe left for Utah on Tuesday. We played Frisbee for family night.

Here's Gibson.

And Brandan.

June 17 is the last day of school before summer break. School ended early for two students who put a penny in an electrical outlet in Becky's classroom. They created sparks, scorched the outlet, blew two fuses and ended up suspended for the rest of the year.

Helen and a friend hiked to Lower Falls in Bell Canyon this week.

Here is a photo of the waterfall.

Here's a photo of a different hike.

Helen and the other orientation leaders like having Nerf gun wars after hours. They picked up these single shot guns for $1 at Walmart.

We went to a graduation party for Grace on Saturday night. From the left are Ed, Adia, Grace, Gibson and Jason.

One of Brandan's patients, Mary, invited him to attend her last dance recital. At 87 years old, with hearing loss, Mary decided it is time to retire and is closing her studio. The recital was delightful. This is a photo of Mary and a few of her students,
