It's a great way to spend time with the family and to show kids a new appriciation for nature itself.

With the mortgage mess, many homes with pools are going into foreclosure. The homes are perfect breeding grounds for mosquitos. This causes worries about the West Nile Virus infections. Here in California, authorities are using airplanes to find green pools and are filling them with the Gambusia affinis, or mosquito fish, which eats the larvae.

These fish have been nicknamed the Foreclosure Fish.

Here is a video from Wall Street Journal:

With summer here and it getting very warm outside it's a great time to learn to swim. Corona has a great indoor swim center called Aquatic Zone. They offer year round lessons with sound fundamentals.

Their goal at the Aquatic Zone is to teach children to love the water and be safe while they are enjoying it. Lessons take place in their two heated, indoor pools year round. Offered days and evenings 7 days a week, it is easy to find a class that is convenient for you and your family.

They are also available for private parties. They will guide your guests through games, races and wet water fun or simply lifeguard and maintain control as the group discovers the fun of indoor swimming! Read their Party Flyer!

This next Thursday, June 12th they will present Barnyard: The Original Party Animals.

What really happens on the farm when the farmer isn't looking? In this computer-generated animation feature, the farm animals can do everything humans do. They talk, walk upright, buy human contraband from a "gray market" run by the gophers, and even turn the barn into a nightclub. Of course, they do all of this in secret. The biggest party animal is Otis (voiced by Kevin James), a happy-go-lucky cow. This coming-of-age tale is bolstered by the human antics of the animals and genuine laugh-out-loud moments for all ages

Be sure to bring your lawn chairs and blankets.

Located at: 2780 Cabot Drive, Corona CA
