First day in SoCal ... (Part 1)


We arrived in southern California Friday night for the first leg of our trip. Our friends, the Pelly's, were generous (as usual) to let us stay with them for the weekend. It rained here really hard on Friday night, so the mountains are beautiful right now. There aren't too many things more spectacular than the mountains here after a rain. I'm hoping we can take a little hike up into them on Sunday afternoon.


We enjoyed the day visiting with Mom and Dad on Saturday. Zach and Andrew wanted to hit the swimming pool right away despite the fact that the temperature was in the 60's. They made up their minds months ago they were swimming in that pool and nothing as minor as the temperature was going to keep them out of it.


Saturday night we had a barbecue at the Pelly's with Karen and Kelvin Langford, Mom and Dad, Rich and Lisa Huber, the Halford's, and us. Kelvin was determined to get me educated about the game of Rugby. I can't blame him ... we made him watch some good ole' American college football on Saturday, so I thought I'd humor him. Plus, He insisted that New Zealand was the world juggernaut of Rugby. We watched one of the world cup matches, and I have to admit, I did actually enjoy the game.
