Day 6

 Last Day in Sacramento.  We all went swimming on this beautiful 90 degree day.

 Teaching Olivia to be brave in the water and jumping off the side.

 we had a wonderful day

 Girl time just kick in our feet.

 Then Jon had a wonderful idea...

 An unique Family Photo.

 So BEAUTIFUL.

 Olivia doing the back stroke.

 Then Jon teaching Olivia the fun kid stuff in the pool.

We all had a wonderful sunny day in the pool.  Thanks Mum for taking all the pictures.

Day 5

 We arrived in Sacramento on Sunday, and my Aunt Ruth invited the family over for lunch.  It was awesome to see most of my cousins, aunts, and uncles.  Olivia met her second cousins (I think that is what they are to her).  Then Monday we headed to the State Capital to feed the squirrels.  Yes, we are Matching.  I asked Olivia what did she want me to make her this year and she wanted matching skirts.  Very easy this year.  It was just hard to find matching shirts. 

 We walked around the capital and found it hard to feed the squirrels.  Family photos around the grounds.

Thanks Mum

 We found some squirrels but they were already eating.  Then we notice they get feed every day, so they did not want our food.  LOL

 Then we headed back to Uncle Tim's house.  Jon and Olivia went swimming. 

 The water was a little cool.

Mum was working on an outfit for Olivia's new seal she bought.

My Mum is so creative that way.

We had an awesome day, filled with lots of laughs and giggles.

Day 4

San Fransisco

Jon used to live here so he show us around his neck of the woods. 

We saw where he started his career in the Fire Service and where he lived. 

 We ate at the wharf, walked pier 39, and headed to the beach.

 While we were walking on the beach, Jon found this dead crab.

 Olivia played and ran while we walked the beach.

Jon found a almost whole sand dollar and I found a sharks tooth.

We had a beautiful day day in the bay.

Day 3

 Then we headed to Santa Cruz for the day.  We walked the Pier and walked the beach.  Yes there are still seal there and you can get very close to them now.

 The water is still cold!          But Olivia had a blast.

 Then we headed to the rides.

 So many spinning rides, but we both had a blast.

 This one was Olivia's idea to go on, but once we got on and I started to turn us, yea she wanted off. 

 So we sat still like a fairest wheel, no upside down rides she said.   LOL

 We all got soaked thanks to our Loving Husband and Father.

 This one above was her second favor.  It was awesome too.

 This one above was her favorite, not mine at all.

 We all had a wonderful day at the Boardwalk.  Afterwards we headed to Uncle Michael's house.
Olivia, like always, loved Missy.  It was a mini horse for her.  We had two wonderful nights there.
Thanks Uncle Michael.

Day two

 From Vegas we headed to   Bass Lake.  It was just south of Yosemite.  The next day we headed into the park to see all the amazing wonders.  Olivia enjoyed the lizards the most.  Can you see it?

 one of the amazing falls in the park. 

 There were so many places to take pictures and to enjoy the out door nature with the family.

 The park was an outdoor playground for Olivia.

 I love the wonderful colors that was in the valley.

 one of the many trees in the park.  These were the roots, the tree was humongous.

We had a beautiful stay at the park and the lake.  We would love to come back.

Day One

 On our way to Vegas, there was a rest stop with a beautiful view.

Olivia say lizards and wanted to catch them.

 Family shadows

 We ate at the Flamingo restaurant, and there was real Flamingo there too.

 Thanks mom and Wayne for the wonderful night and tour of the city.
