Lake Almanor

We just got back from a fun-filled trip to California. First stop: Lake Almanor with Ryan's family.

Lydia love love LOVED playing with her cousins. The babies are all a few months apart. We thought we would have tantrums this year as they tried to play together, but they surprised us all and got along pretty perfectly! Maybe we should have more faith in our children's niceness capabilities.

Lucy and Lydia loved playing with this bucket of water. Cute, right? Except that this water was used for cleaning off dirty, sandy feet. Gross children. Or maybe it's more gross that the parents let them play in the feet water, and even encouraged such play by snapping pictures?



Lydia loved story time with Grandma.



Grandma gave all the girls matching dresses, which they all wore to church. We attempted to get a super cute picture all together. Do you think we got one? NO. Do you wonder who the culprit was?



In this one, I think Lucy and Lydia were giving big cousin Ruby a kiss, something she was not too crazy about.



Again, we tried to get a cute baby picture. Again, it was foiled. Again, the foiling was because of my dear daughter.

First, she wouldn't smile.



Then, between the time it takes to lift my finger and press it down again on the camera button, she was off and running. The girl is incapable of relaxing.
