Random, Spontaneous, FUN Day!

Every time we hang out with the Olsons we have a good time. Yesterday we had plans to go up to Big Bear with them and rent a pontoon boat and then grab some pizza at Paoli's. When we got up the mountain there were no pontoon boats left to rent until 4:15 which meant we had several hours to kill. All of a sudden we heard loud rumbles coming from the sky.... Was that THUNDER?? Whoa... and LIGHTNING? Yep, down came the raindrops and soon enough we were in the middle of a downpour! It was so random because it came from no where and we had been experiencing 100*+ heat and very sunny skies back at home (which is only an hour away). So we headed to lunch early since our plans on the lake seemed to have been cancelled by the weather. After eating some yummy pizza we decided to head back home. As we passed the rocks on the lake, John spontaneously decided to pull over and take a look so we all went down the trail to the lake shore. When we got there it was still sprinkling and kind of cold but there were a few people jumping from the rocks. John and I had done some rock jumping there before but we weren't planning on jumping yesterday. After some back-and-forth discussion, we decided to jump! It was sooooo fun and we all had a really, really great time. Here are some pics... Jason, me, Madison and Alexis when we first got to the rocks
(John had already jumped at this point!)
There's John halfway in the water after DIVING HEAD FIRST from the top. I think he was trying to give me a heart attack.
"Lucky, Lucky, Lucky!" We were all chanting her name to get her to jump. After the first time she had no fear and jumped from the top!
There's Maddy and Jason doing a father/daughter simultaneous jump!

And yes, that's me. I can't believe I'm putting a full body picture of me in a bathing suit on here...

Lisa and Caleb hung out on the shore and took pictures of us. I wonder what Caleb was thinking as he saw his mom and dad rock jumping!?!
After rock jumping was over we headed down the mountain where we browsed around a motorcycle shop (Caleb already wants one - he was sitting on all of the quads and bikes saying "vroom-vroom". Sorry baby, no motorcycle for you!). Then we grabbed some burritos at a yummy mexican restaurant and headed back to the Olsons' house. When we got there Lucky started pulling out her dirt bike and quad so we hopped on and rode around the hills by their house. I held on to John for dear life. And after that we went in the Jacuzzi and ate ice cream. It was such a spontaneous, fun day! Caleb was such a good boy the whole time. He loves hanging out with the Olsons -- we do too! :)
