Ready or not 2017, here we come. Well 2016 seems like a blur, not sure how Sheri and Helaina feel about their accomplishments this year, but I don’t feel like I got as much done as I had hoped I would. We did a little bit of traveling, some as a family and some on our separate little adventures. Without further ado, below is a smattering of photos that recap the year. We hope your 2017 is filled with adventure, fun, great health and happiness.
Below are some photos (along with our Christmas card) showing a few of the highlights of our year.
After 30 some years of driving past Kings Dominion amusement park on I-95, I finally went in and we all road some rides and ate expensive food.In June we moved a spare house to the backyard. The plan is still to make a “man-cave” out of it to display my stuff that I’ve collected over the years.Also in June, Sheri and Helaina did their annual trek to Disney World.In July we had a family gathering to celebrate Mom and Dad turning 90 this year.We went to Hershey this year, but at separate times. I went for the car show October 5-8. Back in North Carolina, Hurricane Matthew hit, so Sheri and Helaina went to Hershey the next week while the schools were closed till the flood waters receded.Helaina made a decision to receive Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and was baptized in July.In August Helaina began 9th grade, a high schooler. In November she turned 15 and celebrated with friends at the Painted Peacock. Maybe next year at this time we’ll be discussing her driving. On December 11th Helaina was involved in the Christmas drama at our church, her part was to play a teenager – she nailed it.
