Lunar Eclipse 2018

January 31 was the lunar eclipse.  Tony was up 5 a.m. to take a look.  At that time the moon was mostly blocked out, with just a little red showing.  I tried to take pictures while driving to work when the moon was setting.

Tony's Last Pinewood Derby

Where Tony has turned eleven, this was his last pinewood derby.  His car was in the middle of the bunch.  His won some races, and lost others.  He had a good time, and showed great sportsmanship.  We took fruit kabobs that looked like semaphores, watermelon red, cantaloupe yellow and green grapes.  Tony and I built them.  Sheri was helping to decorate.  In fact I also helped set up tables after the play practice.  Someone had set up chairs for conference, so it was a bit harder with taking down first.

Tony's Eleventh Birthday at John's Incredible Pizza

This is part two of Tony's party.  In the video you can follow Tony and his orange beanie.  Matthew and Damon, friends from school, went with us to John's Incredible Pizza, a buffet pizza restaurant with arcade games.  It was cute the way the boys would take turns on the games, as often they were two-player games.

Same place a few years later

Happy Birthday to Tony

We had cake a couple days after Tony's birthday.  This was Sunday at the Normans.  Sheri made the cake.  It was chocolate with chocolate frosting.  Dianna had some ice cream.  We all sang as ill as we could.  Tony is now eleven.  Present in addition to the Normans, were the sister missionaries from Mark and Dianna's ward, the Halls, Jeremy and Kayla's boys.  Jeremy and Kayla who were at a meeting came by later.

Santa Clara Train Museum at the Santa Clara Depot

I have discovered the train museum and model railroad track at the Santa Clara Depot.  It is open Tuesdays and Saturdays and is really cool.  I like to go in an watch the trains for a few minutes while I am waiting for the train.  I usually go to Diridon Station, but on Tuesdays make it a point to go to Santa Clara.  The pictures represent three visits to the museum.  It includes pictures from the museum, and pictures from the model railway display.
