Independence Trail

My research assistants out helping me scout out great hikes in the Nevada City area.  Here's a link to the Outside Inn blog post I did on the Independence Trail.  No explanation needed for why I had Ben 10 alien Heatblast and Ultimate Humongousaur along with me, right?

Mardi Gras

The boys went to watch the Mardi Gras parade today with Dan.  Click here to see the Outside Inn's blog post about the event.  And I love that the two of them went in their Ben 10 alien costumes, because why not right?

Weekend in Tahoe

A weekend in Tahoe.  A few skis runs with Nana.  A play and picnic at Commons Beach with the Kellermanns.  Not much snow, but we're still enjoying it.

Skiing

I didn't bring the real camera, so here are a few snap shots via the phone of our time in Tahoe.  Ben at the top of Scott Chair (a bit beyond his ability level, but he was a super trooper).

Dan and Josh riding Yellow Chair.

Ben tuning out on the ride home.

No explanation needed here. 

Happy 4th Birthday

Josh at one year, two years and three years.  Josh at four is a fire cracker.  He's obsessed with Hero Factories, dinosaurs, books, coloring, jumping on the trampoline.

Jumping for Joy

Jumping for joy at the High Camp, Squaw.  Ben, Dan, Josh and Miles.

Ben and Josh

These photos were taken on our way to the Miners Foundry for this event and I had my friend Georgette tweak the settings a bit, since I'm getting excited about diving into some of the photo editing options out there.
