Zoo

We took a trip to the zoo to escape the heat in Los Gatos. Here it was about 110, it was 71 at the zoo. Katy took almost all of the pictures. Margaret and Elizabeth took some of them as well.

Construction Update

Vanity

Another quick update, we are getting closer to the final. Elizabeth got the vanity top painted, moved some rocks, and got the master bedroom painted. I got most of the cabinet doors installed and some other odds and ends. I also got some pictures taken at night. Now that the lights are on, it looks pretty good.

July 4th Weekend

World Cup

Updated with some pictures of the kids playing in the creek and most importantly, pictures of the dump.

Not many pictures, but a lot happened this last week. We went back to Tahoe to check on the construction, do a little work, and spend the 4th up there. While we were in Hawaii, the basement floors were done. They didn’t turn out at all like we expected, but we think we like it. While we were up there, we went and saw the fireworks in Tahoe City, the kids played, and we just did a few small things at the house.

The most interesting thing that we did at the house was watch the World Cup semi-final games on our deck sitting in our new deck chairs. I played golf at Coyote Moon, where we let Gene Upshaw play through. His most notable quote was, “If you aren’t cheating, you aren’t trying. That was the Raider’s motto”.

We also learned a lot about bears. Bears can open car doors. We now know we have to lock our car and house at Tahoe now because, the bears will open the doors and look in. They apparently just opened the unlocked car doors and looked in. They did no damage. Bruce and I also went to the dump. He got pictures, if I get a copy of them, I will make sure that they are posted here.
