John, my step-dad, has been working at Intel as long as I've known him. Today came the end of an era, and surely the beginning of lots of traveling, fun, and family time. IF he actually stays retired, I have my doubts on that one. : ) When we first arrived at the party we talked to John and then a few minutes later we glanced across the room and saw him standing in the corner, kinda creepily by himself, wearing entirely different clothes. I watched him for a minute and realized he wasn't moving and soon realized he wasn't REAL. It was pretty funny! I know it doesn't look that real in the picture, the flash on my camera messed it all up, but I'm telling you, it looked life-like. So funny!! Sweet little Ava. These girls ate 763 of these fruit skewers, every time we went back they were restocking them. Norah even asked some lady at our table for a strawberry off her skewer, hahaha. : ) Chris ...
