DJ and Joel leave the beach area while January, a daughter of family friends, is nearby doing who-knows-what. In the background, you can see Uncle Dave's and Aunt Julie's trailer.

A picture of opportunity as many kids were in a single frame. The two kids sitting to DJ's left were children of the owner/operators of the Old Mission Inn across the street from the campground and standing up were January and her older sister.

Joel, DJ, and Andy acting silly for the camera as we jump off The Barge. I wish we could have video taped this instead of just getting a few pictures.

I'm not sure, but it looks like Andy, Joel, and I are feeding seagulls on the beach at Old Mission in this picture.

This was somewhere between 1986 and 1989 - DJ and Joel were selling baseball cards out of DJ's garage trying to make money to buy more baseball cards. Joel didn't want his picture taken for some reason. Look at DJ's shirt - Skate Pro? He was the worst skateboarder ever!

Not sure which Christmas this was taken, but it was likely around 1987-1989. This is DJ's parents and all his siblings. This was one of the last times this happened, if not the very last, as DJ's older siblings started graduating and going off to their own lives after this.

DJ's 11th birthday party, held on Halloween of that year. We had a blast this year. One interesting note is that this was my last birthday that did not include copious amounts of video gaming.

DJ's 11th birthday party. Transformers were his thing at the time. In front of DJ is Matt, Ryan, and Joel, and you can see Teddy in the lower right corner.
