One small step for….

Tomorrow marks the fortieth anniversary of what some believe to be the greatest event in human history. On a Sunday afternoon in 1969 at 4:17 p.m. CST Apollo 11 Mission Commander Neal Armstrong was the first human to set foot on the moon’s surface. At about the same time today, forty years later, a somewhat less important, but personally significant event occurred. Our twins set foot on their first beach. Unfortunately, no photograph was taken of Trey Davey’s actual footprint, but this snapshot was taken capturing this historic event. It is the fulfillment of their mother’s pledge, made just after their birth, to see them travel to the family’s Lake of the Ozarks cabin and return safely by the end of the decade. For any skeptics, Benji’s beach rock collection provides tangible proof of our Missouri visit.
