So we have been running for a week now! I know, what's new?!?! Anyway, we got Josh on the Airplane to Peru last Thursday. I took him to SLC to meet up with Ty and head out on their outing to Peru. They had quite a miserable start to the trip. They missed their connection in Lima Peru. After all was said and done they spend almost 3 days in airports.
Becky and I took her kids and made a quick trip to Idaho. We went to mom's and spent a couple of days and got to see a little bit of the 24th of July activities. We left Oakley Saturday morning so I could make it back to St. George by Saturday evening.
Mel and I took Oz and his friend, Kaden, to California for a few days. We had a great time. We spent some time at the beach, Knott's Berry Farm and riding "Beach Cruisers". What a blast! Do you know how long it's been since I have ridden a real peddle bike - no gears, clutches or BRAKES! ( Well at least it had good old-fashioned push the peddle backwards brakes.) We decided that is the only way to travel on the beach. We covered about 10 miles of beach. It was awesome! These are a few of my favorite pictures. There's even a picture of me - upside down - on one of the rides.
As a side note - we got to feel a real Califonia earthquake!! It was pretty wild. We were driving down the road and it felt like Mel hit some really deep ruts. The car jigged sideways and I asked him what the heck he was doing. He said that it wasn't him. Just our luck we came to a stop light which put us right under and overpass. Guess what??? The ground was shaking. It wasn't the car! And there we sat under a freeway overpass. We thought that it was just the traffic over head making the ground move but as we drove a little further people were outside buildings and fire trucks were going crazy! Just so you know we didn't put all of this info together until later in the afternoon. I said I bet that was an earthquake. So we sent a text to ChaCha to ask if there was an earthquake in California today. They answered back that there had been and it was the largest since 1994. (FYI - ChaCha (242-242) is an information service that you can text for free if you have free texting on your phone. You can ask all kinds of questions, weather, temp, phone #'s, addresses etc. even trivia questions. It also keeps 12 year old boys busy on a long trips in the car. Try it - it's great!)

How fun! I wish we could go do that sometime! :) We're off to Lagoon this weekend. It will be a nice mini-vacation.

You can't leave Melvin just sitting alone on a park bench for very long. Even the plastic girls are attracted to him!
