silly question

Hi everyone,

Recently got my blood type done and I am reading this book "eat right for your blood type." I'm A+ blood type. Curious if that comes from the Dunlap side or my fathers side. Does anyone else know their blood type. Sort of interesting genetic mapping. . .

Happy Birthday Naima

Happy Birthday Naima!!
I love Naima because:
She is my first born child
She has a sweet and loving Spirit
I remember when she was little how she loved pick flowers and arrange them for me. It was so precious.
She is very imaginative,
She loves her family,
She is very creative,
She is very beautiful,
She is brave
She has a very good husband
I am so proud of Nai and all that she has accomplished in her 3 plus decades. She has great character.
I love Naima very much.

Haircuts!

Katie and I got our hair cut today. Kate loves hers and I am still getting used to mine. I think I'll love it once I stop doing a double take every time I look in the mirror. We are donating the ponytails to "Locks of Love" (a charity that provides wigs to disadvantaged children with long-term hair loss).

After a little taming:

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day, Papa Bennion!

We hope you felt special today recognizing your 32 years of dad-hood! Rob & I love you!

We made the cake the night before and the boys (especially Burke, as you can see) really enjoyed it when I gave them a beater to lick. Burke just had this mischevous grin after he did this to William.

Will's friends Mads (pronounced mess), Olivia (Mads and Olivia are cousins). and Isabella. Isabella is actually the daughter of Heather Pulley's brother Tim and his wife Olga. We enjoy having a family connection here in Copenhagen. William loves all of his friends, and gets especially hyper with Isabella. Maybe because she also speaks English, I don't know. We think William thinks all the Danes around him are speaking in jibberish. When he runs and plays with his Danish friends and they speak to him in Danish, he'll occasionally yell something back in total nonsense syllables. It's hilarious.

John's Big Ride

I went on my second semi-big ride this evening. It took me about 75-80 min, and you can see the route below. Notice the numbers on the map are mile markers. The chart on the bottom is the elevation gain. I did 16.34 miles and had a 800 ft ascent. Now to compare with L'Alpe D'Huez (hors categorie in the Tour). It is 8 miles with a 3,350 ft climb. HELLO!!!

It was a workout like I had not had in 20+ years. I was actually scared my body would not pedal any further. The last time I felt like this was when I took my first swim test at Camp Oljato. Death seemed like a real possibility. I didn't think I would die tonight, but I thought my cell phone might die, and I may have to lie on the side of the road for an hour and recover. I was looking for someone to offer to pull me up the last hill. Think the scene from"Napoleon Dynamite" -- It would be nice if you could pull me [up the last 400 feet of hills]. Anyway I was really proud of myself.
