Parent's Don't Know What Happens When They Sleep

Last week was vacation week.  We jumped in a plane and traveled far away to a place far different than Oregon. Gina, Autumn, Hanni, Peter, Abe and I enjoyed Arkansas and my parents.  

This is the view from my parent's back deck:

That is indeed a beautiful lake.  What you don't see is the boat dock just off to the right that houses the boat we can take out anytime we want.  Staying with my parents is like staying in a nice resort.  

On the trip back to Oregon, I fell asleep.  I always fall asleep when flying.  There is just something soothing and I can't stop myself.  On the long leg of the trip, I had the pleasure of sitting next to this fine young lady.  

As I lay peacefully asleep, that innocent looking travel partner grabbed my Nexus 7 tablet and took a few pictures.  I didn't see these until a couple days after arriving home.

Hanni has a knack for capturing me at my best.

Doesn't she look satisfied with herself.  I'm just glad my beard hides drool!

Here is another one of me passed out!

The Lesson:  Your kids are capable of things you never imagined.  Just expect the unexpected and enjoy them!  I always think my kids are more innocent and serious than they really are. And I underestimate their capability to accomplish both constructive and silly things.
