Eaglets are Waddling & Camping

The Eaglets are looking for shade today with Jackie watching over them. You can see that one is clearly bigger than the other. It's kinda hot here in SoCal - it hit the 90's where I was at today so I definitely understand that they might need some shade. When it's hot out my way, I can feel the heat suck the life out of me and I don't want to do anything.



Took son #1, Andy out to BJ's to celebrate his birthday. He's 23 tomorrow. I can't believe how quick the time has flown by!! Lots of good memories hanging out with Andy at Hurricane Harbor, bowling birthday parties, scouting and camping adventures. I remember one time when he was 14, we went on a backpacking trip with the scouts near Ojai called Bear Creek. It was a good 5-7 mile hike and we packed in our camping equipment. Thankfully we didn't see any bears. I was responsible for lunch so I packed in pitas, tuna fish and cuties for the people. we needed filters for our water. It was a good experience and I was very proud that I was able to do it.

Can't say I've been to Big Bear to go camping, but I was up in the Lake Arrowhead area in 2019 for a week with the scouts for summer camp. Lots of hiking on that trip. Ah, nature! It really is soothing to the soul in a way.

Question: where do you like to go camping?
