June Recap

Hello!  We are still here - busy as always!

At the very end of May, we took a trip up to Sonoma to get a sparkling pickup (don't worry Jennifer, I will share) and to visit the sculpture garden.  I like to take pictures of Olin at the sculpture garden to compare his size and see how much he is growing.  It was almost a year to the day since we went there with Grandma, and he is a much bigger boy now!

The first weekend in June we went camping for our first two-night trip to a nearby lake.  The campground is up above the lake, and we enjoyed a nice hike down to the docks on the first morning.  We got the hike in very early, since someone in our tent was up at 5A.M. and unwilling to go back to sleep...

The hike down was fun, the hike back up was a little challenge, but we made it!

For Father's Day weekend, we took an extended, three night trip to a campground near Santa Rosa with a swimming pond.  Tom and O drove up on Thursday and had a "boy's night" camping adventure until I joined them on Friday after work.  We all had a great time walking along the lake, swimming the pond and using the fitness trail.

Push up time!

O really loves camping...

Here we are in the swimming pond.  Tom took him on Friday, then we all went swimming Sat morning and Sat afternoon.  These are from Sat afternoon - he was so much more comfortable on the third venture.  He kept walking out to the marker buoys by himself, tipping his head back to keep his chin up out of the water.

Sparklers on our third night.

We stopped to taste some wine (of course) on Sunday, and then stopped for a Father's Day lunch at a very fun little restaurant north of Santa Rosa called Zazu's.

Tom was gone last week working buoys, but made it home for the weekend.  In very unusual fashion for us, we stayed home and just relaxed, it was nice.
