Somewhere out West Arnie and Newlin bought the boys moccasins, and they loved them. After that Joel largely refused to wear lace-up shoes.

Arnold and Newlin: Road Trip West 1963, part 1

In the summer of 1963 the family drives out West visiting a number of scenic points of interest, among which is Bryce Canyon. Newlin especially enjoyed western scenery, even as a youth reading the Zane Grey novels. Joel remembers traveling with a large thermos filled with ice and Kool Aid that got refilled every morning in the motel.

Arnie and Newlin had a harness for Andrew, nearly three years old and quite a bolter. With that harness they could rein him in when he ran toward a cliff or he could just pick up his feet when he was tired or playsome to be carried.

Arnold and Newlin: Beach 1963

On occasion when the boys were fussy and uncooperative. Arnie and Newlin might skip church and take a trip to the beach or to another town in Florida. This is one such trip to the beach on a winter Sunday to either our regular haunt of Crescent Beach or one of the nearby Atlantic beaches such as Anastasia.
