Father's Day!

Our second Father's day was last weekend. Chris wanted to go for a hike and a picnic, so after breakfast out we headed up to Donnor lake in the Sierras. We read about the Donnor party in the park museum, did a quick nature hike and headed out to the lake to eat and look around. It was a lovely day and the boys really enjoyed the daddy time.

The Pioneer Monument at the Donnor State Park.

(Kathy likes to point out that the mama is nursing!) :-)

Whew! That was a longer hike than I thought!

Mother's Day

We are sssooo behind on our blog posts!! Hopefully we can catch up a little today! Without further adieu, we backtrack to Mother's Day. The boys gave me some beautiful plants, Chris made me breakfast and we went for a hike to some local falls. The hike was in more remote area than we though but after bumping the Prius down 5 miles of mountain-side dirt road, we had a wonderful hike by the river.

Gabe on mom's back. What a nice shady place to snuggle!

Chris has switched out the bjorn for the baby backpack. He likes it, but the boys LOVE it! They look like little Rajas riding on an elephant.

Onward my large-footed mount!
