Some of what we've been up to!

This last weekend we went camping in Big Bear with some friends. It was hot but not too hot and at night it was cold but not too cold!Thanks all for a great time!!

We were on the go the whole weekend! The boys got sleep whenever they could. This was on the way from camp to a pirate ship ride, about 15 minutes. Sebastian was a grump when we woke him up from this power nap!




There was a cool rocket making activity. Using PVC pipe, a bike tire tube, and an empty soda bottle the boys made rockets that actually launched!!



Here are the participants standing next to where their rockets landed. Unfortunately, Synjin and Chance were far from the target but it was fun nonetheless.


The boys got to try sticking the hatchet in the log. Chance didn't quite make it but had fun trying. Next year will be his year...

Synjin succeeded and the mountain man dressed him up in all the real gear for the picture. Synjin was so happy!

Sebastian got a little too brave and went out a little too far trying to reach Daryl and I had to jump in with my clothes on to get him. Fun times!!


We celebrated Chance's and his cousin Matthew's birthday at the beach- they are 3 days apart! It was fun fun fun! We especially liked when the police who were patrolling the beach stopped by and suggested that next time to feel more at ease we go to Orange County!When we left, the group next to us was playing some offensive music while LITTLE kids danced to it with their parents cheering them on!! And that's why it never ends.....

We love our Chance man! We are glad he is part of our family! He is so sweet!







Daryl came up from swimming wearing this shirt.Funny thing is he gave me his shirt prior to going in the water. Apparently he forgot this little detail and picked up the first black shirt he found when he got out.That's why guys from the group next to us were looking at us........... :o)


For one of our weekend excursions we went to the Ronald Regan Presidential Library and, besides a lady falling on her face in an attempt to avoid hitting Chance who ran right in front of her, we had a good time. We kept seeing the lady and her family during our visit! Oops!! It was an amazing tribute to an amazing life!!

You guys are always so busy seeing the sights--you should write a book. You could call it The 1,000 places you should see before you die. :-)
Love ya!

Looks like a really fun camping trip. Kind of scary about having to jump in with your clothes on. Kids are fearless.
