Coasting

We had a wonderful weekend enjoying the coast of Monterey.

Here is Miss S with Dr. D just before his morning dive.

Here is the group of divers just before heading out into the surf. (Dr. D, Harry, Corey and Laura)
Can you spot the divers? The four spots in the ocean. All was well on this dive. During the second dive Dr. D's B.C. (Buoyancy control device) sprung some leaks. Fortunately, he was with some wonderful divers who pulled him to shore (Thanks again Harry and Laura).


Miss S also had here first trip to Monterey Bay Aquarium. She loved watching the fish and other marine critters.

We had the chance to explore the aquarium with Mommy's friend Sheryll and her family.

After Monterey it was off to a family birthday party. Here is Miss S enjoying the playground that is just her size.

Not sure who is having more fun - Dr. D or Miss S?

Rock and Roll

Miss S has really been interested in rocks lately. A budding geologist???
Here she is rearranging rocks in the garden.

A family picture at Grandma and Grandpa H's property.

Look what I found in the cabinet.

A nice morning hike along the middle fork of the American River.

Miss S with mom, playing with some rocks she found on our hike.

On the Verge of Spring

The animals are out and about. Here is a lizard that blends in really well with the tree bark.

The flowers are blooming.

The fruit trees are in blossom.

Miss S planting another fruit tree with daddy.

Having lots of fun-rolling around and laughing.

Miss S fell sound asleep in her swing - Must be all that nice warm mountain air.
