Page is taking after her Dad in the thoughtfulness category. After a long night and a bit of a groggy day, it was nice to come home to a little pressie from Page. She knows how much I love lilies already. She also likes to take long walks in the backyard with Dad and pick little flowers from the garden.

A couple of days in the mountains would be nice.
We stayed in the former Olympic ski area of Squaw Valley, fifteen minutes from Lake Tahoe.
Let’s go to Yosemite!
Yosemite was full, so we stayed in Lee Vining on the east side of the Sierras, overlooking Mono Lake.
Don’t tell anyone, but we took the hire car down a dirt road to explore the ghost town of Bodie.
We did make it to Yosemite. Mum and Dad explored the Yosemite Valley while Alex, Page and I sought out bears in the forest near the Hetch Hetchy lake, where we stayed on the western side of Yosemite.
Let’s go home!
Page was Miss Relaxed in the car.

We are waiting on modern technology before we post pix from our first road trip with Page. Grandpa Craig seen here capturing one of the many moments..

We have just returned from a 5 day road trip. Brendan and I sat in the back seat with Page while Grandpa and Grandma sat in the front and navigated us through Lake Tahoe and Yosemite. We drove on average for 4 hours a day and Page was the perfect traveling companion. She held on tight to Dad’s hand for many, many miles…

We were lucky enough to have two Grandmas in town to spoil our daughter for the last few days.
It was great to get the benefit of all the (not that many, really) years of child-rearing experience.
I’m glad to say that the two Grandmas shared the spoiling in good spirits.
No pistols at dawn.
No banjos.

We ventured out to Windy Hill for our first hike with Page. Dad and Page could have kept going but I was holding up the pack. Recovery sure is slow, but it felt great to be out on the trails again and Dad got to carry Page this time.
