HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM

A very Happy 85th Birthday to my dear Mother-In-Law.

ROAD TRIP AFTER NEIKA & DAVID'S WEDDING

We decided after the wedding at Silver Lake we would take advantage of the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains. I bet you already knew we didn't really have a plan so just started driving. That's the way Rick works but I will tell you we always end up having such a fun time. We found a room in Minden Nevada. We were up bright and early on Saturday so off we went. We drove up Hwy 395, 4 and 89 and saw the most beautiful county side. These are a few of the towns and lakes we drove through or saw: Topaz Lake, Mosquito Lake, Lake Alpine, Bear Valley, Calaveras Big Trees State Park, Murphy's, Angels Camp, San Andreas, and Jackson.

Neika and David's Wedding at our Silver Lake Cabin

31 years ago Don and Teri (Neika's parents) were married here. Can you spot Rick Jr. and Lisa who were in their wedding? Teri had their wedding albums out and I couldn't resist taking a picture of this one, it is priceless! Grandpa Doug with some of his grandkids.

Look who this is!

ANGELS GAME WITH CHRIS & CODY

Papa loves his baseball games especially when he can take a couple of his grandsons. I was there too but it was all about the boys this game. We all had a blast!!!

Cody wanted to stay until the game was over to see how many noise sticks he could collect.

I love this picture...Papa arm in arm with Chris and Cody (sorry it's so dark)
