Holly came for Memorial Day weekend. It was a great visit. We mostly hung around the pool, and made a stop at In-n-Out.
In June I led a small group of students to London, Paris, and the Alps. We enjoyed the regular tourist things, saw Wicked!, and I enjoyed the Starbucks.
We bought some kayaks on my birthday, and when we got home the place was full of people for a surprise pool party and BBQ. It was a total -- and happy -- surprise! The next week we went camping at Big Bear Lake with our new kayaks. Carolyn's is red and mine is yellow.
Holly came again for 4th of July and we went back to Big Bear with the Kayaks. We also went to see Wicked! in Hollywood at the Pantages Theater.
Kallie came later in the month, so the kayaks got a work out again.
We took a friend to the Hollywood Bowl for a production of South Pacific. It was great!
This weekend my brother, David, came down from Sacramento, and we went to two NASCAR races in Fontana. We got to see our favorite drivers and cars. We had a great time, even though it was (100 degrees +) HOT.
So that catches us up to a lazy Labor Day. Carolyn starts teaching again this week. My school started last month. Now I already have papers to grade which I successfully avoided all day!
