Early bday Steve and helicopter ride

Great present from Heidi. Our first time on a copter and awesome to see Big Bear from the sky.

Merry Christmas 2017

Christmas Eve

A nice warm day in the mountains of Southern CA. Missing the East coast Schwartz's and jealous of Brian and Debi in the Big Easy.

Skiing big bear

Epic day with Big E!

Chippy the Elf

Last day of school before a 3 week winter holiday break. Went to the museum with the kids and it was a lot of fun. Now it's time to relax and enjoy the holidays. Oh ya that was chippy telling the kids not to mess up so close to Christmas.

Take me home Huey

A very cool exhibit on display at Freedom Park with free coffee and pastries.  Check out http://bycell.mobi/wap/default/iconmenuindex.jsp?entryid=ECMTkxMg==#m to find out more.

Festival of Lights

Another great year! Nice to be warm

Tamale Festival

Beautiful day for a tamale festival!

Cow, calf and sick kid

A busy week! Learned tons about cows and dairy farmers. Zachary had a bad stomach ache we worried was a ruptured appendix, luckily just a stomach full of poop. Heidi still has a broken foot but at least she got a knee scooter. Now it's off to the tamale festival and Festival of Lights

Frog balls

Love them frog balls!

Turkey trot

A good time on El Paseo

Balloons

Happened upon while on my morning jog. Amazing, early bird catches the worm. Some day I want to go up in one of these.

Weekend in the desert

Heidi's dream car. Enjoyed a bbq competition on the east valley Saturday and the pride parade on the west side of the valley Sunday. Finally cool here in the desert.

Trick or treating and freaky girl

In our old stomping grounds this Halloween
