This summer was the summer of traveling. Paul spent the end of June in South Africa for work. It was an exciting time to be in South Africa because the World Cup was going on during that time. Unfortunately, Paul was unable to attend a game. He did however go to a lion preserve (Ukutula) where he was able to pet and walk around with the lions.

As a family, we spent a week in Siesta Key. Paul, Tina, Gene, Daniel, Cristy, Katie and Eddy just spent the first weekend with us. Arturo, Yoyi, the kids and myself were there all week. Abu and Aba joined us on Tuesday. The kids had a great time watching the fireworks, playing in the sand, swimming in the ocean and even going on a pirate treasure hunt.
