Firkfest 2018

Been to all of these Beer festivals since the 1st one. The best brewers in Orange County take a house beer and condition it with adjuncts in a firkin. The results are usually bombtastic. Some of these treats weigh in at 13%+ ABV

This year, the festival fell on Tay's Birthday

Tay & Ozzy Study Abroad

These kids decided to study abroad in Barcelona, Spain for the winter session of 2018. I couldn't tell you how many countries they visited or how many famous sights they visited, but they definitely made the most out of their time in Europe. 

It was an experience of a lifetime and I'm sure one day I can get her to update this Blog with more pics

SEKI 2017

Spent a few days in the Kings Canyon and Sequoia region of the Sierras. I really enjoyed the stay in Kings Canyon as it was far less crowded and amenities were clean and easy to use. I love campsites that are next to rivers and creeks, so that you can jump in whenever the urge strikes. Missy was a definitely a trooper because I don't know very many 5 year-olds that can keep up on a 2 mile hike, the way that she can.



Absolutely love the majesty of a Giant Sequioa

Can't go wrong with sitting in front of a powerful waterfall and enjoying the rush of the water and the smell of the wilderness whipping past.

Snow Play in Big Bear

Had a fun little day trip up to Big Bear mountain to do some sledding. Missy was a little anxious going down the slopes, so after two runs, I took her to the snack bar to relax and watch the rest of the family happily go up and down the tube run.

Pumpkin Patch 2016

Love the chance to shoot pictures of Missy at the pumpkin patch. This year we went to one in Yucaipa, CA and it was impressive. They had a large petting zoo and corn maze to go along with all of the other games and rides. We will definitely come back to this one.
