Mom, Hiram and Micah came to visit 8/25-9/2. They also brought Lola :) It was a great visit, we went to Lassen National Volcanic park and hiked the Bumpass Hell trail that was really neat, it leads to these boiling sulfer pits and there is steam just coming out of the ground, sounds kind of like jets taking off at the airport and it stinks really bad like sulfer but it was very cool. We also hiked around Manzanita lake and that was very beautiful too, lassen park is such a beautiful place and not very far away...... We also went to Wiskeytown Lake and relaxed at home and watched movies.

On July 12th, I flew to San Diego to meet Aaron for his Grandpa Agner's 90th birthday party. It was nice to meet Aaron's extended family in Southern California. Aaron had driven down the previous friday with his family and i made it just in time for the birthday party. I was extremely tired b/c i only had about 3 hours of sleep. I didn't get home from the wedding the night before until about 12am, got to bed around 1 am, tried to sleep unsuccessfully until 4am and then drove to Sacramento to catch my flight to San diego. I was exhausted but I had a great time. The b-day party was on Sunday, we went to the beach in Carlsbad on Monday and Aaron's parents taught me how to boogie board, then on Tuesday we went to the Wild Animal Park and then flew home wednesday.......It was a great trip, I hope we get to go every year.
Aaron and his 90 year old Grandpa :) He looks great!

Us girls :) Can you tell i was trying to stand out of the sun? lol, it was outside in Redding at 4pm and we were wearing long black dresses but thank goodness it was only about 95 degrees that day, it could have easily have been in the 110's but we definitely lucked out!

Lola decided she would go into heat the night before I had an appt to get her fixed..... so she got to sport pampers all week, lol. They worked great and she left them on surprisingly, just had to cut a whole for her tail......

Whiskeytown Lake. The mountains across the lake were burned last year during the fires, they are still pretty charred.
