Snow Play at Big Bear Mountain

We've been enjoying the recent snow to hit Socal. Two consecutive trips to the local mountains have been fun for the kids who rarely get to experience such a thing. The photo above is all of us in front of a frozen Lake Big Bear. Click on the picture above to watch a video of us inner tubing down a hill...

What's with this weather? One day I'm cruising around the house in b-ball shorts, the next night I'm making dinner in my snow jacket. I don't get it, typically in SoCal it's very temperate. You can feel ok about leaving the house in whatever you were wearing, none of this "layering" nonsense. Oh well, at least my lawn is getting watered and my car is getting washed...

Ethan bought a book from the bookstore labeled The worlds top 10 roller coasters. This one is number one on the list. It launches you to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds and sends you 45 stories straight up in the air and then straight down. This things looks awesome!

And now, the good news...

The Los Angeles Lakers bolstered their banged-up frontline Friday with a key acquisition -- 7-footer Pau Gasol!
The Lakers gave up Kwame Brown, rookie Javaris Crittenton and two first-round draft picks for Gasol. The Spaniard is certain to help a Lakers team reeling from recent injuries to inside players, including blossoming center Andrew Bynum (see Post below).
As a frustrated Laker fan the past couple of years, this trade is just what the doctor ordered! I can't wait to see what the future holds for us.
