Fun Times

Alden's parents are now at their condo in Oceanside, which is about 90 miles south of us. We had a fun time having them stay with us. We went to Universal Studios on Thursday and Saturday, since Alden didn't have to work on those days. Friday I took Sherry and Lowell to the Hollywood walk of fame so we could see a few stars. Mostly we were looking for Elvis Presley's star but for some reason it had been taken out. I'm guessing it needed repaired. Even though we didn't get to see that star, we had a fun time. Then we drove down to Long Beach area and met up with Sherry's sister, Sandy for dinner. On Sunday we went to Long Beach again on our way to Oceanside and had the best funnel cake ever. Actually they call it a funnel sundae and you can pretty much put what ever you want on it. Alden and I had ours with cookies 'n cream ice cream with a little caramel sauce and whipped topping. Sherry and Lowell had strawberries with strawberry cheesecake ice cream and whipped topping. They were divine! We stayed with them in the condo Sunday night. It is only one block from the beach and you can see the ocean from the balcony. The only bad thing about that condo is it is also only about a block from the train tracks and man those things are loud. Especially in the middle of the night. But we survived and spent Monday at the beach with everyone. Alden's brother David and his family came up from Arizona and we all had a good time together. Of course I got sunburned despite sitting in the shade all day. I hate having such fair skin sometimes. And now I am back to work while Alden still gets to play with his family. Today Alden and David are going scuba diving again. This time Alden has his fishing license and his lobster card, so they are going lobster fishing. Sounds yummy! But I told Alden he is in charge of killing them and cleaning them so all I have to do is eat them. We'll see if they can even catch any. You have to use your hands to catch them and then put them in a special lobster bag. It is illegal to use a trap or spear on them. We'll see if they are quick enough.

Until next time...
