Chrystal Cathedral And The Beach

Thursday 9-10-09

Grandma had to go see the Chrystal Cathedral.

It has been over six years since she's been there.

This is the smaller chapel... You'll see the inside

of this one in a little while...

This is the Cathedral...

You've probably seen these same shots on TV...

Only it was probably full of people.

Huge pipe organ

Outside in the courtyard...

The kids took turns riding in the wheelchair

when Grandma wanted to walk...

People were probably quite confused when they

saw a different kid in the wheelchair.

Joseph and Mary and Baby Jesus.

I thought there might be an elevator to take you to

the top of this structure... I was wrong.

I think there is a prayer room at the bottom.

The Shepherd rejoicing after bringing

home the lost sheep that was now found...

Cathedral Cemetery...

There were three levels to this cemetery...

Grandma wanted to find her brother-in-law's

grave site. Wilbert Eichenberger worked side

by side with Dr. Schuller for many years.

So we searched until we found it. After we found it

we stood there for about 10 seconds and then she

said, "Ok, let's go". She is not a lingerer...

The small chapel... The kids sang a song...

Now they can say that they sang at the

Chrystal Cathedral.

After were done at the Chrystal Cathedral we headed

to New Port Beach...

This was Tommy's first time to the Ocean.

They all had a blast!

Standing on the Pier.

We had a fantastic time at the beach. The water was cold,

but it didn't stop the fun. The kids played in the water and

collected sea weed... We ate corn dogs, nachos and

french fries.... And played in the water again.

What a great day!
