“…Every painted sky
A canvas of Your grace
If creation still obeys You so will I…

If the stars were made to worship so will I
If the mountains bow in reverence so will I
If the oceans roar Your greatness so will I
For if everything exists to lift You high so will I…”

Seeing and feeling and experiencing nature stirs our affections for Him and beholding these things on the regular now still awes us. Don’t think it’s gonna ever get old.

Air show @ Miramar (yes, from Top Gun … apparently, Cruise was spotted recently in SD while filming the sequel).

Nothing like being on a tank on the grounds of a real marine air station, eh?

A “soldier man”!

Another {ex} soldier man (aka Daddy).

Ventured up north to the town of Poway for their rendezvous back in time to the Old West.

Witnessed some living history encampments of life during CA’s civil war eras.

Watched a gun-fighting demonstration! Can you spot the cowboy?

A steam locomotive train runs through Old Poway Park.

The small museum in the square was open.

This translated to something a tad larger. ;-P Like son, like father. But it’s worthwhile when gas is like 4 bucks a gallon and our house’s solar can run the car charger. :)

First official build @ the Lego store.

Nursery on a farm in the middle of the city? Interesting! Went to get ideas for our landscaping… All the houses in our whole development came with zilch landscaping so we’ve got like a couple of months to submit a plan.

This one was more interested in the animals than the plants.

Huge tortoise alert!

Don’t think they consume twigs, son. ;-P

Flying Ford Anglia buiid @ a local toy shop called Geppetto’s and a new acai place grand opening.

This pink ice cream parlour with chandeliers was just calling out to these boys, hehe.

Lakes close to our place. You can actually see our house in the distance.

Went to check out a fall festival at Point Loma Nazarene University. The parking lot had an awesome view!

Found another kombucha place we hadn’t tried out — they don’t make their own yet but carry many of the local brands.

Writer’s night @ school. Packed!

Farm 2 School Collective picnic — great initiative. Don’t think anything like that existed in TX.

Finally using our new Star Wars beach towel he had picked out in the summer.
