Fun times with Dylin & Farming with the Family

Family day at the farm.

Harvesting Lemons from on top of a rock.

 Tangerine time!

 

Playing with Nate makes me so tired I can't even make it to my bed.  Poor Mr. Pib,

no where to sleep tonight...

Learning to drive at 8...Soon she will be able to reach the pedals.

LA for Lauren's Graduation

 The proud graduate!

Morro Bay and 4 Elements Farm

Hanging out at 4 Elements farm with our friends Trisha and Seth.

It's a dynamic little farm with citrus, herbs, vegetables, chickens and biodiesel.

 The Tiny House

A great little health food store & cafe in town called Sunshine.  If you are in the 

area stop by for a bite to eat!

Big Sur

This is definitely a favorite lunch spot in Big Sur. A waterfall on an untouched beach...

So Beautiful!

Santa Cruz-The most magical place on earth.

Swimming in the river, playing in the ocean, hiking through the redwoods, reggae dinners

and organic beer-->This place is amazing!

Pictured with us below are a couple friends we met while in Amsterdam this past summer.

Reunited in The CRUZ!

One of the views in Castel Rock State Park.

      Enjoying a beverage at 

 Santa Cruz Mountain Brewery-

          All Organic Beer!

Lagunitas Brewery

The freshest beer. Bottle just one minute before it hit our lips!

Great tour, check it out if you have the opportunity.

Bay Area & Sacramento

 Our friends apartment in San Fran

(We forgot to take a picture with our friends so we figured just one in their house is equally as good)

 Nate's Buddy from College. Rocking it with her in Berkeley.

 An all sour brewery...yah you know I am there!

Our friend Rich in Sacramento made us an amazing lunch with nopales.

YUM

Incline Village

 Cooking the pizza on the BBQ

 Chaotic BUT Organized Kitchen 

These pies are making your mouth water, I KNOW!

Our very wonderful hosts Katie and Patrick

SunDried Apricots

 First step is to slice and prepare the apricots and limes. Then, 

we dipped them into lime juice, which acts as a natural preservative.

And then they are laid out onto a screened table to dry in the hot San Diego sun!

Wow look at all those fresh apricots!

It's a group effort.

Big Bear Getaway

Enjoying the look out at the peak of 1 hike.

Mr. Pib's presence enhanced my enjoyment on this trip. He was full of life 

on each hike and he truly loved swimming in the lake.

Writing a short poem in the hike log book.

 Sunrise Hike. 

Mr. Pib and Nate enjoying a cold one at Big Bear Brewery after a long day of hiking.

So Cute!  :)
