Cooling Off

Did I mention how hot it was in California!?!  Doesn't the season know it's OCTOBER!!  Charlie and Lukas spent plenty of time cooling off in the fountain at Mimi and Far Far's house.

Fall Camping

Then, after meeting up with Paul, we were off to Sonora.  The weather continued to be hot, hot, hot, so we headed up the hill in search of cooler temps.  We squeezed in a quick overnight camping trip at our old stomping grounds, Pinecrest Lake.

Getting cozy in the Cozy Cruiser

Good thing there were only about five other camp sites occupied in the entire campground...these two used their "outside" voices with the volume turned  all the way UP.

There was no shortage of boulders to climb

We wouldn't have been able to pull the camping off without these two (Far Far and Mimi)

And, of course S'Mores! 

California Adventure

What a whirlwind trip the past week and a half felt like.  It always goes too quickly.  But I always enjoy getting back home so that I can re-live all of the fun moments of our time with family and friends.

My trip started in the bay area for a baby shower of one of my best university friends.  While mommy had a girls weekend, the kiddos stayed with Grammy and Papa Moo for the first leg of the trip.

Always lots of treasures to find

The weather allowed for lots of outdoor time
