Out and About This Week: Mountains and the Ocean

The best thing about summer is getting to be outdoors everyday. Where we live in California we can do day trips to just about any sort of environment you can imagine.

Here are a few images from the last week.

Kayak Day at the Lake

The boys took some kayaks out at a local lake.....not too hot and we went early.

7 10 11 Fallen Leaf Lake with Lupine

Fallen Leaf Lake is an hour's drive from our front door and we took the short hike around the edge of this crystal clear alpine lake last weekend. The lupine was divine and the sky was equally as awesome.

7 10 11 Sierra Wildflowers

The wildflowers were amazing! I love getting the chance to experience this Sierra Nevada habitat.

California Coast Drive

We took a day trip to visit an elderly relative and we took the "long way" home along the California coast. The wildflowers were blooming here as well.

See what I mean? Northern California is such a gift to those of us who live here. Our job is to take the opportunity and get outside!
