Ok, I'll admit it - we haven't posted for a while. Where have we been? Well, most recently, thanks to my generous parents (and a great deal they got thru the real estate biz), we were able to spend a week in Silver Lakes / Helendale, CA - a private city with a private lake in the desert between Victorville and Barstow, and for all pratical purposes, a private condo for us! Here are a few shots of what we did during the week...
The beach was in walking distance from our condo - this is what it looked like on a busy weekend - us and one other family! Of course, it was hot, maybe 105, but the water felt great!

About 1/2 hour to the northeast was Calico Ghost Town - a real live restored ghost town! I thought we'd get a good two hours out of this place before the kids would want something "more exciting" but we had so much fun there we spent the entire day!

Another thing we spent some time doing was fishing. We saw some huge catfish & trout off the swimming docks of the lake, but unfortunately, you couldn't fish there. We never caught anything from shore, but the kids sure did try!
One of Christopher's "Wish List" items for the summer was to hit a bucket of balls at the golf course. Well, just at our doorstep was a PGA rated golf course. The guys were great there - not only did they let the kids hit a bucket of balls for the first time, they let us take 2 golf carts out to see the course - all for free! What a blast!
All week long the kids practiced doing a synchronized swimming show in the pool for us - they did a great job putting on a great show to cap off the week!
