Cousins

We’ve met loads of cousins this summer…it’s been wonderful to reconnect with family scattered far and wide. This weekend we got to meet L’s newest little cousin, as well as visit with the older generation.

We went to the Nevada County Fair, which had loads of rides, games, food, music,  animals and exhibits.

After watching her fearless cousin tackle walking on water in a big bubble, L had to give it a try!

Going to the Snow

Going to the Snow from Mike C on Vimeo.

We spent the weekend in Grass Valley with Lucy’s grandparents. Lucy had been looking forward to the trip all week, especially our Saturday trek to Soda Springs where she’d be able to play in the snow.

Lucy got her first taste of snow last year. However, she wasn’t really prepared for that encounter. Her excitement dissipated quickly once she realized how cold and wet snow could be.

However, this year was very different. Lucy’s three now, a grizzled veteran compared to the two year old rookie we plopped into the snow last year. This time she had a much better idea of what to expect. We also planned things a bit better, making sure to bring along a snow sled for the kid.

In this video you’ll see us all having a great time in the snow. Lucy’s excitement can be quite infectious that way. Also, if you watch the whole video, you just might catch a special moment where Lucy and her Gpa cut the rug together. Fun stuff.
