We have to play in the pool outside every morning now that it's over 100 during the day. Otherwise we swelter, or pay too much for AC. :) There is only about 4 inches of water in this pool, so I can sit nearby without worrying too much.

4th of July

We had a really great 4th of July weekend. We drove the 1 1/2 hours up to Redding and stayed in a hotel. Peyton had a fever and an ear infection, so it was a little stressful, but still a nice weekend. We went to Turtle Bay, an ecological museum that has animals native to the area and studies the environment. (our friends Dallas and Jeannie Carlon gave us free passes). They had a big frog exhibit with all the different types of frogs from around the world, and a big fish room, and (our favorite) a butterfly "house". They just built the Sundial Bridge out there, which I thought was really neat. Then, we went to Sunday meeting at the Grow's in Ono (oh no!) they have a pretty house that looks like a barn from the outside. I saw an old friend there, Alisha Osborne (now Earnest) and her kids. On the 4th, we went to Whiskeytown Lake and swam a bit. The water was perfect, so refreshing yet not too warm. We got to see Dallas and Jeannies' new house in Redding, which is big and airy and beautiful. I was jealous. :)
We had a really fun weekend!

Hello everyone!

Good weekend to you all! It is gorgeous and cool here today. It's only 75 out. It's such a relief to have some cool weather. I got sick Friday morning with a fever that lasted through Sunday. I found out at the Doc on Sunday that I have tonsillitis, basically an infection of my tonsills and all the lymphs in my neck. It looks pretty nasty, but I think the meds that I'm on will knock it back now pretty quickly.

Our friends Sean and Kyra Ziniker from Chico are moving up to Paradise today. They bought a fixer just like we did, so it will be fun to see what they do to it!

Our old friend Derek Pearson is getting married today to his sweetie of lots of years, Sara. I think they're already considered common-law married, they've been together so long! ;) I hope the rain in WA let up for them to have a pretty day.

Not much more to report here, I hope you all are having a great weekend! Take care of yourselves.
