West Fest

Viv and I travelled to North Carolina over the 4th.  It was her first plane ride and I did a majority of the travelling by myself.  Luke didn't get to come because he has no time off yet with his new job.  Viv travelled like a champ!  Our first stop was to see my cousin (on the Anderson side) and her family.

Award Time:

Zach wins the "Most Dangerous Job Award" for breaking up bar fights at Suite =-) Or maybe it was for his time in Iraq...I'm pretty sure he and Brad should share it.  Or maybe I should get it for all the time I spend with teenage girls at work.  I think that's dangerous.

New Grandma award:

Mom got a banner with the Swedish word for grandma: mormor
