Camping

We took some friends camping with us in the Sierras. They had a two month old baby with them, and she did amazingly well. Bryson was a little nervous of the dark and the new surroundings. Once morning came he was happy.

Here Bryson is roasting, or rather burning a marshmallow for the first time on his own. He really got a kick out of this.

At the end of our adventure we went out to eat at the Pizza in the Sky restaurant.

Reno air show

One of my friends from college, her dad races in the Reno air show. We decided it would be a treat to see the races and all the neat planes.

Sunday

Just a nice day to take a photo.

Oldies

Our area is famous for fixing up old cars. Often people will just get together on a weekend and display their cars for fun. We drove by and found a bunch of beauties.

Encampment

Brian was a leader during the Young men's high adventure week long camp-out. He thoroughly enjoyed his time up in the wilderness.

Carmel

Brian's sister Janeen came and visited us one weekend. We decided it would be fun to take her to the beach. We had a wonderful time playing in the sand and water.

The Ranch

Every year our family heads to the ranch. Its our all time favorite get away. The pace of life just slows down. The closest neighbor is about a 20 min. drive away. No one is going to bother you here.


Brian always enjoys fishing at the ranch and decided to teach Bryson some of the finer points of fly fishing.

Aaron is quite the pro fisher man.

The rule of fishing, you catch it, you gut it and eat it. Bri and Aaron scarffed up their catch of the day.

Bryson enjoyed a short ride with dad

This is for our gourmet, Zagat rating restaurant going, posh eating friends. This is one of our top rated restaurants in the area. They had fresh buffalo ready on the grill that day.
