Uncle Steve pitches to Bryce!

In San Diego for some summer vacation. Uncle cheese came by to play some games and have some dinner

I just bought this used canoe on Craigslist.

Now the family will go on camping canoe trips on the Russian River.

San Diego Reunion

Calen and Bryce are at a summer camp in San Diego this week with old Rock Rose school friends Ale and Cameron.  

Yum, they are cooked

Backyard anchovy breakfast anyone?

Homemade blackberry yogurt ice cream

Made with raw goat milk from Singing Frogs Farm and berries from the yard!  Yum!

36 year's later, Bryce wears my riding pants....

The fox and the deer

Got the following movies off my tree camera.  I was trying to figure out what was munching on our garden...

This is the deer that is eating my garden!

And here is a fox that probably killed a couple of my chickens.  I'm sure she has some kittens somewhere to feed...

Bryce's Birthday party.

Photos from Bryce's 6th Birthday. Pinata, treasure hunt, cupcakes, presents, pin the tail on the rooster and duck-duck-goose.  What day could be better?

Calen's Class Two Play

Below are some photos from the school play.  The play was an old Indian story about a mouse that helps other animals selflessly.  Calen was "blind mouse".  You would have seen my jaw drop when Calen said his many lines perfectly and acted out his scene.  His part was to give his sight to the Buffalo and then walked along with the Buffalo with his eyes clothes.  Seriously proud father writing this post!

Here is the star, with his costume...

 Afterwards they climbed up a tree at the school
