We are at my son's house in Bear Valley Springs.  This morning we got up at 5:30 so we could go down to where the hot air balloons are.  We tried to sigh up my son and his wife for a balloon ride, but they were fully booked and had been since May.  A lady came up and asked if we wanted to take a ride.  We said yes and it was a done deal.  She was part of the balloon team.  It cost $120 for the two of them to go up for about 1/2 hour.

The weather here is clear and warm.  It is sure different than on the coast where we live.  It never gets this warm there.

Jessica sure is a cuty.  She is just starting to walk.  She is taking about 5 to 10 steps before she sits down or  grabs onto something to support her.

TAP! TAP! TAP! A woodpecker was tapping on the side of my son's house.  They love things that make a lot of noise.  Of course in the process they make holes
