Veteran's Day




At Lanie's school today, the third graders performed a program in honor of Veteran's Day. Even if we are against war in general or against a specific war, we cannot be against the soldiers. Their sacrifice is too noble. After all, the arguments we are having about them are protected by the very rights they fight for.

Moore Halloween



As the kids get older, Halloween becomes very different in our family. The girls still enjoy it, but as you will notice there are no boys in these pictures.

Moore Camping

October is the time to go camping in Virginia. The weather is gorgeous, and there are no bugs. The kids had a four day weekend with no school, so...off we went.

Moore Vacation

We went to Annapolis, MD for a last hurrah before Tyler headed off to school. We went sailing (I sail!); we ate a six pound milkshake; we went to the beach; and we went shopping at the waterfront. We also ate calamari at a seafood restaurant, and we soaked in the hotel hot tub. We strongly recommend this as a great vacation spot, and we'll even go back to show you around.

Moore Recollections

I was supposed to tell about my favorite vacation for a Relief Society thing, and I kind of got to thinking. I wrote down some of my memories of some of our vacations, and I wondered if any of you want to add or rebut.

Santa Monica, CA Summer 1985
We stayed at the Santa Monica beach for an entire week. We had corn dogs and cherry lemonades at a stand on the beach. There was an awesome new and HUGE mall across the street from our hotel. We ate dinner at a friend of my mom's, and she served us the seven-layer dip which has since become a staple in our family. It is the best seven-layer dip out there.

San Fransisco, CA July 1, 1984
We drove to San Fransisco and spent some time on the waterfront. We saw a man lying on the sidewalk flying kites. We went to Pebble Beach and Carmel. We ate clam chowder in Carmel. We drove down the Pacific Coast Highway to Los Angeles. Our luggage fell off the roof of the car and my dad had to run on the highway to collect it. We went to the beach at Santa Monica, and we went to Apple Pan. We went to Disneyland. On the way home through the southern California desert, the luggage fell off again. After we stopped and fixed it, the car wouldn't start cause it was too hot. We said a prayer. As soon as Dad said 'amen', Jed said, “Ok, we can go now.”

Mount Rushmore, SD August 6, 1982
My family caravaned with my two aunts' families. We took tents and slept in KOA's along the way. We stayed in Casper, WY. My cousins played Risk in the back seat. My dad and aunt and uncle had walkie talkies but you had to be so close together for them to work that you could read lips anyway. I remember the KOA at Mt. Rushmore was very nice. After we left Mt. Rushmore, my dad took an alternate way home, and we way stayed in a hotel in Colorado on our last night.
