Whew!

The long all night drive from Bryce to Riverside just about did me in, but we made it. Bryce has a shuttle service that takes visitors to most of the highlights, so we availed ourselves of this service and, I did not have to drive again, yeah! Miriam and Adam both earned their Young Ranger Badges, and in Mim's words, "(she is) a young ranger girl". That little face climbing up on the counter to be sworn in was just cute. All of the kids were amazed at the hoodoo formations. Just ask them to explain what a hoodoo is and they will.
We just rested on Sunday, after that hairy drive the night before. My sister came to visit and we had a nice conversation. Martha and I stopped in to see Jim Squire and his mother. Jim has a good job and seems to be doing well.
We were supposed to get started early on Monday to go to Big Bear, but mom had some plumbing problems I had to take care of first. After snaking her main drain we did finally get on the road. My Aunt Deb has reserved some very nice Condos for us, and its about 20 degrees cooler here. Again, Yeah! I think we forgot our camera, so we may not get any pics, but we are looking forward to a nice relaxing time before the hectic fouth week end.
