Today was a day that Eric has waited for. It was the day of his appointment at the DMV to get his learners permit. As we arrived, the parking lot was fairly full. I was surprised that we found a parking spot after driving past the line waiting to get in the DMV.
Friday afternoon Eric and I left home to pick up Jacob and head to the mountains to Camp Emerson. Camp Emerson is near the city of Idyllwild and at an elevation of about 5400 feet. We know that it snowed a couple of days before we were going to be there so we were prepared. […] Eric came home from school on Thursday and announced that he needed a suit for a dance that he was going to on Saturday. We went out Thursday evening and purchased a suit, dress shoes and a white shirt. While we were at the store, Eric received a call from the young lady that asked […] As Eric contemplated his date tonight, I started the day with a brisk walk around the lakes at Fairmont Park. It was a brisk walk of 1.66 miles at 5.2 miles per hour. On my walk I was passing a man who had a fish on and he asked me to get his needle nose […] I picked Jacob up this afternoon and asked him if he would like to go on an Easter egg hunt. He said sure. We traveled to Jack Rabbit Trail off the 60 Freeway. When I made the turn off the freeway he gave me the look of, what type of Easter egg hunt were you […] Eric went airsofting with some of his buddies today. They play in an area that has taggers that come through and paint a couple of walls and buildings. So as they are taking a break, a Sheriff’s car shows up. It could be for the taggers as young men playing war games in a wooded […] Jacob made it thorough the day without being captured digitally as far as I can tell. His day started “with a 2 + plus mile tour of Arlington National Cemetery” where he “experienced the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of Unknown Soldiers.” Then it was off to a tour of the the Capitol […] Day two started out early for Jacob. Today’s adventures took him several places. The day started at the “White House National Archives, the Natural History Museum in DC proper and then headed a little ways outside of town to Mt. Vernon, the home of George Washington” as reported here. Jacob in front […] I am sound asleep. I have not been feeling well and actually went to the doctor last night. So what do I wake up to this morning at 4:52 AM? A text message. Jacob could not make it to the AMOC yesterday because he was on the east coast for spring break. He sent me […] Today Crew 6 made a trip to the Air and Marine Operations Center on March Air Reserve Base. What is this place? It is a place that watches thousands of aircraft and watercraft within and without our borders. We saw a short video that went over the operation. It was informative. There is an explanation […] Eric did another experiment for the Environmental Science Merit Badge that he is working on. He needed to put 10 worms in a box that was half in the shade and half in light. The worms were placed in the center and he watched them for five minutes. Would the worms go to the light […] The past couple of days Eric complained about a pain in his abdomen area, especially when he drank the limeade that I purchased for him. I took him to the doctor today. Questions asked, answers given. We were walked across that hall to the gastroenterologist who asked more questions. He asked them fairly quickly. Questions […] I was at Home Depot a couple of days ago getting some flowers for Eric. He needed them for a experiment for the Environmental Science merit badge. As I was there I grabbed a few plants for the garden. Yes it is the beginning of March and it still could freeze, but I am willing […] It is always good to get out at lunch and do a little shooting. Today Emily joined us for Lunch Time Fun. Emily started out with the Sheridan Blue Streak in .20 caliber with peep hole sight. She proved capable and the cans starting falling from 40 yards. She next tried the Diana RWS 350 […] |
