Old News: Summer Vacation

We were just realizing we haven't posted any pictures since before our vacation last month. I guess we've just been busy recovering from vacation! Oh, and I guess we have to acknowledge our obsession with 24 - Thanks a lot, Nick and Jody!

I guess we'll start with our road trip through the Central Valley.

We started out camping - Naomi's first time! Her nap schedule was off, so she slept at weird times and in weird places. Like this...

To keep warm, and to have someplace reasonably clean to put Naomi, we tried this...

The camping trip was for the Grace Valley (church we got married at) Retreat. It was wonderful to have time and teaching to reflect on God's attributes and be reminded not to limit God's greatness in any way. We also really appreciated the time to catch up with folks and get to know others better. This included a "hike" with some of my college buddies.

Then we celebrated Father's Day in Roseville with my family. Naomi had just figured out how to initiate Peek-A-Boo.


Next was Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa's new home.



Then we spent a few days with the Thomases and Bradleys. We played LOTS of games and the kids played with toys - sometimes together.






Our next adventure was Naomi pulling up for the first time at the Bradley's house. We paused Tetris long enough to document it.


Our last stop was Naomi's Great-Great-Grandma's home. G'ma Jessie enjoyed watching Naomi - and Naomi had fun exploring G'ma.
