Sicknesses, Earthquakes, Pollution, and Common Sense

So, here is part 2 to our post today. This post will cover everything from the most recent week.First off Addy got her two front teeth! She now has 6 teeth all together....she uses them well. Eve came home on Tuesday morning. Wes left work for a few hours to pick up the fam from the airport. On the way home, we stopped at Mi Tortilla for some lunch. While eating fajitas (eve) and burritos (wes) and rice and beans (addy) and quietly catching up on the previous week, the earth started a-rumblin and the walls started a-shakin. The first tremor, we thought it must have been the commuter train that runs right by that area, but when the second, and much stronger, shaking started, we realized that the train wouldn't make the building turn to jello. So Wes and Addy experienced their first earthquake (Eve was in 2 earthquakes in Ohio when she was little.). It was a 5.4, centered about 27 miles away in Chino Hills. No damage here, and it passed quickly. The owner of the Mi Tortilla even yelled out that everyone could have a shot of tequila! After we took him up on it (just kidding), Wes took the fam home and went back to work.
Wednesday was a free concert in the shopping center by our apartment. The band did covers of such hits as "No Woman, No Cry" and "No Diggity". Very classy entertainment. It was fun. After the show, we walked over to BerrySweet, our favorite frozen yogurt spot, and Addy had her very first dairy free frozen yogurt. She loved it. We have the pictures to prove it. She had it all over her face and cried for more.

Thursday was softball night. We had to play the final two innings of the game from the previous week because the lights never turned on. We kept it close in the 6th, but then the DA's exploded in the top of the 7th. They scored 9 runs on some controversial calls that went their way to make the score 15-7. We had to score or we would lose. We rallied and scored 7, but we couldn't get the last run in to tie. So we lost a valiant battle 15-14. That meant we wouldn't get to play in the championship to defend the title from last year. However, we had to stick around because we were scheduled to play for third place later that night. Long story short, we creamed the other team by ten runs. So we took 3rd, not bad. We celebrated at the new pizza place. It was great.

Friday was a long day. Addy had been running a low fever all week and friday she was in a no good terrible bad mood. Eve took her to the doctor, who also happened to be a MORON! That's all we can say about that, without getting too upset. Friday and most of saturday was spent in the apartment, because even though Addy was getting better, Wes and Eve were feeling under the weather. However, we drugged up and dragged ourselves out for Saturday evening. We drove north into the San Bernardino mountains to Lake Arrowhead (grabbing Jamba Juice on the way out of town to enhance our pretending we weren't sick). We ascended the mountains about 4500 feet, and we rose above the pollution in the valley. We could barely see the valley below, but we knew it was down there somewhere. There was another free concert up in the village on the lake, this time a reggae/rock band called Common Sense. It was fun. We listened to the music, went in shops, and walked around the lake. The air was so clean. On the way down, the pollution had magically lifted and we got to see the beautiful lights in the valley below. It was amazing. There is only one weekend left in California...you know it will be a good one!
