Free Ice Cream!

Yesterday in Santa Barbara there was a pretty big fire and it was dropping ash everywhere. It knocked power out in the early evening and put quite a damper on a few of the evenings activities. We just sat around as a family talking laughing and telling stories, so we had a great time. At around 8:30 we went up front to see if there was any info about the power coming back on, and the front desk started unloading their freezer of ice cream bars to anyone who would take them...apparently they were melting. So we all enjoyed Big sticks, Drum sticks, Ice cream sandwiches etc! This morning Jax is in Small World and we are going back for another tennis lesson. (My ankle is wrapped nicely and also nicely greenish) This afternoon is lunch at the beach, and this evening is a show put on by the staff, then an ice cream social, then put the kids to bed, and Karaoke night...I haven't quite decided if I will be singing...because at my
non-bunko-playing bunko group on Friday, Cicily and I sang a fantastic rendition of Careless Whisper by George Michael, and I would hate to deprive anyone here of a repeat performance...the only sad this is that Cic and I won't be able to do our theatrics along with the fantastic singing!
I can't believe it's almost time to leave...poor Jaxon. He wakes up and goes to sleep every night here with the word "Cousins" on his lips, he has never been so happy and free in his whole life. What a shocker real life will be for all of us... boo hoo.
