Running Springs

Our mini, mini family reunion with Dad and Cile was a success. We were entertained every day and then some. I think I need a week to recover. Is it possible to need a vacation from a mini vacation? The trip started out a little rough with a friendly reminder from a friendly officer to slow down. Guess we were in a hurry to get there. It marked the first ticket my babe has gotten in about 7 or 8 years. (He wasn't thrilled.) When we arrived at the cabin we were pleasantly surprised. The view was incredible! With three decks lined with glass we could see forever. The stars were amazing. Our off-road excursion offered more insane views and lots of humps and bumps. It was a 3 hour tour and then some. We learned about the indians in the area, the major gold rush of Southern California, and so much more. We hit the alpine slides after that. Boston felt the need for speed. He was the only brave one to attempt the "fast" slide down. Sunday marked somewhat of a lazy day. Last person up was Maddi around 10am. After a slow morning we headed over to Lake Arrowhead for some mini shopping and go-kart riding. We ended with a great bbq meal that hit the spot! All in all it was a great time. We will miss you Dad and Cile. Hope to see you soon.

End of Summer

So far our summer has been very uneventful in the vacation department. It has been a summer of swim lessons, beach days, water parks, basketball games and work. Maddi and Jaxson have been in swim lessons at the YMCA for the month of July. We celebrated Maddi's 10th birthday at Hurricane Harbor with Aunt Nanni, Boston, Talon, and Big Bruddy. We had a fantastic time! The summer women's basketball league has monopolized my time and daddy supports all 0f us in whatever we do. I have the BEST husband in the world!!!!

All that being said, we are going out with a bang! This weekend we will join the Carvalho Family and Dad and Cile in Running Springs, CA. We have a Pirate Tour scheduled for Friday afternoon, a concert and Farmer's Market at Lake Arrowhead in the evening, and an AWESOME off-road jeep tour on Saturday at Big Bear Lake. We will fit in the Alpine Slides, Animal Park, and late night games at the cabin. I can't wait.

The fun will continue at GrandPa Camp for the kids with mom and Doyle. Keith and I are meeting the Francis' in VEGAS baby! Can't wait for that either. Mindy and Cameron are always oh so entertaining. We'll let you know how the pool, shows, and Francis entertainment are.

Have an enjoyable next few weeks! You know we will!
