Tahoe with the Telegans

We spent a wonderful week in Tahoe, still celebrating Noni's 60th Birthday from January. We rode ski lifts, went roller skating, rode bikes and played in the Lake.

Fourth of July with the Downey's


We spent the Fourth of July in our favorite spot Mt. Shasta. well really in the town of Castella where Brian's parents rent a wonderful house on the river. This was the boys 4th Mt. Shasta walk. They haven't missed a year. and Brian and I's 12th(or 13th) year. It has become such a wonderful family tradition. We always do the 2 mile walk and this year the boys walked almost the whole thing and I actually ran it with Avery and Charlie Harbour. The thing with running was I didn't get to go with the rest of the family so once I finished running I went back to join the boys who were walking with Brian, Noni, Papa, Marc, Jess, Morgie & Taylor.

After the walk we have a wonderful BBQ back at the house. This year the Beasley's, Heaths, Davis's, Shoffner's, Noni, Papa & Great Grandpa Berini and some of Grandma and Grandpa's friends joined us for the party. With all the activities that happen all day long we have yet to take the kids to the fireworks in the evening. This next year I think that will have to change because this year they were asking about them and disappointed they didn't get to see them.
