Every two years, at the end of the skating season, the Flamborough Skating Club puts on a gala event that gives all of the kids from the club a chance to skate in a show in front of their parents and invited guests.
N happened to be a member last year, and he was part of the skaters from the England team. Here they are getting dressed for the show pictures. It was quite an event, with lots of rented equipment and a production team made up of Club instructors and volunteer parents. I ran one of the spotlights for the show.

Carmel California visit
For me, one of the more interesting places in California is Carmel-by-the-sea. Originally an artist colony, Carmel is a quiet town on Monterrey Bay that is a fantastic vacation destination. There are a series of ordinances that prevent extensive redevelopment, and maintain the feeling of Carmel as a reclusive retreat. That, and the rather high property values, manage to keep the town exclusive to a more refined segment of the population (politically correct?).
I had the chance to visit Penny and Allen when they rented a summer house there earlier in the year, and this is a picture of us on the beach.

Granpa's bird feeder
P and N really seem to enjoy learning about nature things, which must be something that they get from their mother. I don't remember finding nature that interesting until later in life.
Here they are learning how to fill the bird feeder at Grandpa Lang's house. I think they look at it similar to fishing - here is how to build a bait trap for the birds. At least that is how Nicholas explained it to me.
