Well we are 1/3 thru Mel's visit and I am hoping she and her kids are having a good time. So far, we have gone to the movies twice, the pool three times, as well as a trip to Legoland, The Wild Animal Park and the San Diego Zoo.
It has been pretty hot, and I don't think Mel or her kids handle the heat very well, but we are doing the best we can. We have had a few sunburns and are trying hard to make sure everyone gets appropriate sunscreen. Her kids had never been to a zoo, so that was a really big event for them. Our zoo is so big you just can't do it all in one day, so we may take them for a second visit when we get back from Big Bear.
I was checking temps and see that right now it is 105 in Big Bear! Ack!! I am seriously hoping this drops before we arrive on Sunday afternoon. Perhaps it is just a freak heat wave. I am also really hoping our rental house has A/C. It is not mentioned in the description.
The old house is coming along. They have installed sprinklers in the back yard, removed all the overgrown stuff, and a lot of overgrown plants, and then laid new sod. Just that has made a world of difference in how the house looks. Inside, all the rooms are now empty, the carpets and old floors are pulled up. The contractor expects to have his bid ready by the time we are back from Big Bear, so hopefully then we can start the main work. I still have to sort out the laundry room and office (build off the garage), the garage itself and the shed outside. Oh, they have pulled all the old shingles off the shed too, so we can re-roof that. It is a busy, busy place. We are really hoping to have it on the market before fall, but I don't suspect it will be possible. But all we can do is try.
Anyhow, that is about it for now. I hope to have some nice pics from Big Bear, next time I post. I will likely be without an internet connection while up there, so will not be blogging or checking e-mail till after the 12th.

How about that historical area of San Diego? A few years back we stayed in a hotel near there but didn't get to visit it during the daytime. It looked interesting but a little desolate after dark.
105...uggggggggh!
I'm hoping for cooler weather for yal!
Let me know if yal need any plumbing done!
RYC: You got that feeling too huh? I found it interesting that all the kids' names started with "J" like dad. No "M" like mom anywhere.

It is HOT and HUMID here. The day the calendar turns to August it is just like a button is pushed to jack up the heat. I hope you have a great time in Big Bear.
Love, Mom
PS I hope you remembered Grandma's birthday. I sent her a package, and Beth is supposed to send hers tomorrow.
