River Ride

This weekend I took my first ‘bike ride’ on the American River Bike Trail.  (Myron is riding his balance bike, he is now fast enough for use to bike too).

That’s Mama in the background riding her bike ‘bus”.   When my legs were tired I rode in there too.

Reading

Ah a relaxing Sunday afternoon of book reading.

Yosemite

Nana few in from FL and we were off to Yosemite.  I loved playing with Nana and Yosemite was beautiful…

Are we there yet?  Nope just a road side break… but still pretty.

We made it!  But it’s a little chilly… little did we know what was headed our way…

The deer here are brave… very brave… one come so close to me that Dada Mama had to step in… a little scary but cool!

But even with snow… it’s never too cold for Smores.

It was another cold night… but we all survived.. and the next day we hiked up to mirror lake.

I loved this hike…. and climbing on everything in sight!

Don’t worry Mama or Nana were always there to catch me when I was a little too brave.

So this is why they call it mirror lake…

Another cold night… so we decided to leave a day early… it rained and rained but that didn’t stop us from enjoying one last day at Yosemite.

Some of my favorite parts of the trip… nana, hot coco, and riding the bus!

Bye Yosemite! 

Our trip home was uneventful… we avoided the ‘chains required’ roads and mad it back just in time for bed.

Tree Climbing

I climbed up here all by myself!

DSC_0242Now I only need to figure out how to get down without an injury.

DSC_0240He fell 10 seconds after this photo…. putting an end to his short lived tree climbing career.  No worries I am sure he will try it again… and again.. and again.

Folsom Lake

A little Sunday fun at Folsom Lake.

DSC_0229I wasn’t a very fast hiker…like to stop and dig in the trail…

DSC_0231a lot!  And we learned (once again) always stay on the trail!  Water in CA attracts snakes like poop-poop does flies.

DSC_0236This solved the hiking and snake issues… but created a new plumber butt issue.
