Happy Father's Day

We spent Father's day on a beautiful ten mile hike.

There were many beautiful trees such as these old madrone trees.

Miss S enjoyed the sites along the way.

We crossed quite a few creeks and passed many waterfalls such as this one.

Here's a view of a valley near Oroville Lake.

Here is a shot of Feather Falls near the middle of our hike.

Dr. D and Miss S enjoying the falls.

Here is one of the pools above the falls that we hiked to. The water was cool and refreshing.

Outdoor Adventures

Well summer has definitely started and the temps are heating up. We have been trying to enjoy the cool mornings. Our phone and internet have been down for a few days but are back up and running intermittently. If you find our phone just ringing and ringing, try our cell phones which work intermittently as well.Miss S playing at her sand and water table.

Miss S and grandpa enjoying a tractor ride.

Splashing around in the American River.

Miss S loves the water.

Here is the expression that Miss S made on her first trip through an automatic car wash.

Out for a little morning hike that turned out to be a long strenous hike back up a canyon.

Taking a break down by the creek.

Enjoying the shade and creekside view.

Here is a view of the creek from the point at which we took a break.

Finally Friday

Happy Friday. Enjoy the pics.
Miss S and mommy giggling at the park.

She is almost running now.

Swim diapers make great hats. Miss S thought this was hilarious. This is about the only thing she will keep on her head.

All those swim lessons are paying off. Miss S will go underwater without gulping down water and can hang onto the side of the pool all on her own.

A bounce house and balls . Too much fun.

Taking the fire truck out for a ride.

A concerned look about something across the park???

A not so concerned look.

The turtles received a new super filter and it has been working great so far. Hopefully this will cut down on the number of times we have to empty the tank completely.
