The Skaggs Family Visit

One week after my parents visit, we had Greg's sister's family here! It was their first trip to California since our move.

It was a fun filled week packed with adventure! We started with a local tour of Gold Country... which included a tour of a gold mine as well as panning for gold on the American River. Unfortunately, no major gold discoveries...





Then we were off to Yosemite to camp for three days! The weather was perfect. We explored the valley floor, drove up to Glacier Point (no snow this time!), and a tram tour of the Giant Sequoias in Mariposa Grove. Beth, Phil and Lainey also went horseback riding through the park.








Thursday, we headed to the coast to play on the beach and check out the seals!











Friday, Greg's Uncle Bruce, Aunt Lisa, and her sister Leslie joined up with us for a day trip to Tahoe. As always...picturesque and fun!



It was sad to see the cousins go...but we look forward to seeing them in Michigan this September!

Wow, what a good looking bunch of kids! Thanks again for showing us such a great time. Phil says, "Wendy, send me that CD of pics - yours are way better than mine!"

Hope to have the CD in the mail this week! The boys love looking at the pictures of the Skaggs visit...think they miss their cousins!
