Visit from the Idaho Cantelos

We were lucky to get a visit from Ross, Tamara, Sami, and Ty during their Spring Break and we had a great 5 days!
Ty and Quinn playing a round of chess that ended in a draw.  
We went to Malibu and had lunch at Malibu Seafood where we saw Vin Diesel.  Ty was sly and captured a video of him and here is a screen shot from the video.  
Then on to the Zuma Beach in Malibu.  It started out OK but got really windy so we didn\’t stay too long.   

There was a big crew filming on the beach and Ross went up to check it out.  He saw a \”crashed\” airplane.  While googling around, he discovered that the final scene from Planet of the Apes was filmed on that beach.  Sure enough, that\’s Zuma Beach.

After the windy beach, we headed home to laze in the warm pool.  Don was kind enough to heat it to 90 degrees for us so we had many lazy daze in the pool.

And lots of fun in the evenings sitting in the hot tub.

A little more chess.

We spent a day at Venice Beach where Don and Ross were recruited by these street performers.  They were looking for tall, rich white guys.

A stop at the playground before heading home.

Tamara took this pic of Sami & Ty.

 More evening swimming!

Ross took this pic.

Cub Scout Hike

Quinn\’s Cub Scout den went on their annual hike in Lang Ranch.

First it\’s snack time and a lesson on the do\’s and don\’ts when hiking.

A climb up Heart Attack Hill!  

We conquered that hill!

All the scouts with their feet off the ground!

Most of the boys were moaning and groaning on their way up the hill that they were sooooo tired.  And then they ran all the way back down the hill and to the trail head.  Funny boys!

Visit with Grandpa Corky & Grandma Meg

I\’m getting caught up on our adventures over the last month and starting where I left off.
We had a great visit with Corky & Meg in March.  We made our first trip to Descanso Gardens where I had read that the trees and flowers were blooming.  
We walked in to the beautiful sight and smell of Wisteria.  
The Cherry trees were in full bloom.

In the Lilac orchard.  It smelled AMAZING.

Tree Pose!

Quinn wanted to create this video of him falling off the edge.  Don\’s acting skills are outstanding!

The Fibonacci Swirl for these two geeky guys.

A beautiful day among the blooms.

On Monday we shipped Quinn off to school and went to Malibu to have lunch on the pier.   Not too shabby!

One last pic before we had to say goodbye!
