Home Sweet Home

As much fun as I always have visiting family I must say it's finally nice to be home with my own family. I spent 6 weeks in Minnesota (sill need to blog about that trip) before Sean returned and came back to Texas for one month before he got here.  He got home September 6 and we left for another vacation just a couple weeks later.  Our trip to California included stops in Arizona and southern California before we made it to Placerville and Camino. 

We didn't have good luck hunting at all but I must say we had an incredible time :)

This is only SOME of the pictures from the trip! Way to many to blog!

Arizona

Swimming at Pano's and Denise's house (in September)

Our favorite place to shop CABELAS :)

Stuffed African Mammals

Newport Beach on a rainy day

Watching the Pelicans

Our hotel across from the Ocean!

Stopped to see his Dad on the way up the hill... he hadn't seen his mom or dad in over a year

Reading with Grandpa

Great Grandma Doris took us to Apple Hill

The kids had a blast in the hay bale maze and pumpkin patch

Planned to go on a run.. but I don't think it happened that day :p

When we were hunting we drove an area that was being logged.

 The piles were HUGE!

 Camo Buddies :)

 Spending an hour at the river was by far the most fun we 

had with "just us" we feel at home in the forest!

We celebrated Sean's 30th Birthday and his dad's birthday at Cattlemans with his parents, grandma

and grandpa, brother, and aunt Lisa and Uncle Chris and cousin Gavin.

Colton and Sean's cousin Gavin (colton's 2nd cousin)

 Sean's favorite riding horse... He spend over an hour in the pasture

working with her and getting her to come to him. She was shown and broke to 

death.. but pins her ears when you catch her. She is coming along but still 

doesn't trust us enough.

Stetson had a blast running around on the farm.

We met up with our great friend Kim Herren Near L.A.

our cheapest but nicest hotel room that didn't even charge for the dog :)

 

 

 

 

 

 He gashed his eye and then I think he took this picture himself :p
