VISITING GRANDMA

Moving from the big house where Ken and I were rattling around 5 empty bedrooms, 2 empty family rooms, and 5 empty bathrooms had us rethink continuing to live on Rockwren, a custom home we had built for our five wonderful children. We lived there 14 years, but it was time to move, and move we did to a gorgeous location right on the lake. Our deck actually goes out over the water. We wake up to quacking ducks, squawking geese, 12-18 huge Coy fish and 4-8 turtles every morning. It is wonderful! However, when family comes to visit...it's too small. So we spend time on the deck (because everything seems to get broken indoors), and at the nearest park.

Finding a park in Irvine is simple. Go right or left or straight or backward, since Irvine is the #1 planned community in the US and is built around two man-made lakes and 75 parks that include swimming pools, tennis courts, volley ball plot, basketball hoops or kids play areas. It's a heavenly resort-feeling community that we love. And we love having the kids visit, no matter how crowded, noisy, sticky and uncomfortable it gets. They are why we do what we do. Families are forever!
