Ohio

We just got home from Ohio...it was such a great trip and it was so nice to see family. Wyatt had a blast, as usual. Grandpa's farm is like heaven for a two-year-old boy. I think we did everything a little boy could dream of doing. Rea was along for the ride too...but she really only wanted some attention and a bottle. I will spare you the recital of every detail of our week, and let the pictures speak for themselves...

Nana

After we got home from Tahoe, we had two days before my mom (aka Nana) came to visit. Me and the kids drove up to San Jose to pick her up...and while we were there, visited one of our favorite stores...

We had such a blast checking out all that they had to offer...and Wyatt had a blast running up and down the aisles with his paper measuring tapes. And yes, we bought a ton of stuff.

Nana stayed with us for four days. While she was here we played a lot, had a CAbi party and ate lots of good food. We were sad to see her go...but we'll see her again soon! ;)

Lake Tahoe, October 8-11

So I'm going to attempt to do a little catching up here...

Josh left at the end of September for Fallon, Nevada (he would be gone a month). Thankfully, we had plans to drive up to Lake Tahoe and meet him a few days later. I loaded up the car with clothes, snacks and babies and drove the six hours up to the mountains. I had never been to Lake Tahoe before, and I knew that it would probably be beautiful...but I just had no idea. It is in my top three of the most beautiful places I've ever been. The pristine lake surrounded by mountains and crisp, clean air. Sigh. Can we go back now?



Anyway, we and four other families rented a huge cabin in South Lake Tahoe. The first night we were there, I sent Josh out to the car to grab some groceries that I had left out there. He walked outside, looked up, and this is what he saw about three feet from his face...

Fortunately, that was our only bear encounter. haha.

We spent four days just hanging out and enjoying our surroundings. The kids also relished in some daddy-time. We managed to spend a couple of hours at the lake one day and got some great shots of the kids...


This trip was entirely too short. I wish we could've stayed forever. Hopefully someday soon, we'll head back up that way...
