These are located in the San Bernardino mountains east of LA. 
There we kicked back and relaxed indoors while it snowed and snowed outdoors! 
No, this isn't Nebraska!Sabrina joined us on Tuesday for the last few days. We skiied a couple of those days at Snow Summit on Big Bear Mountain. Surprisingly good snow and skiing for this part of the country.
Here's a big surprise: we may be in the movies! That's right: Jim Carrey is making a new movie, "Yes Man," which features a Nebraska home football game. The call went out for extras who had links with the Big Red, and Meg and I grabbed Sabrina and Josh and got in line! The main game background filming was done at the Oklahoma State-Nebraska game in Lincoln this past fall (we were there), and this filming on Friday the 11th was for all the crowd closeups. So, we got ready for the big game,
fought the crowd in the parking lot and for much of the day yelled "Go Big Red" along with Jim. It was great fun! The movie release date is December 19, 2008. Here's a link to a Nebraska newsletter article on the filming.Sabrina and Josh surprised us on Sunday with a mystery trip: they said simply, "come prepared to walk all day." Well, in southern California, that might mean a lot of things, but we were pretty sure our daughter wasn't taking us to the desert! Sure enough, the car pulled into Mickey World! We had a great time together, walking and trying out all the rides!
The parades within the park are fun; we saw two while there. Here's Tinkerbell in 
the Parade of Dreams. His Majesty, the Lion King, was there also:
By the time we left we needed a wheelchair!We have moved now to the East Shore Campground of Puddingstone Lake in San Dimas, where we stayed in 2006. It's a beautiful place, quiet and surprising for being so close to a city.
This is a tree right near us where this eagle sits day after day. What a glorious sight! Wish you were here!
