Mountain biking!

Casey took his new mountain bike for a ride in Auburn this morning. He had lots of fun and said it was beautiful. Next weekend I get to join him on my new bike that comes this week!

Happy Animals

Penny loves play time!

Levi says hello!

We took Penny to the dog park over the weekend and she got to meet lots of dogs, including a few greyhounds, Heather and Willis! The greyhounds’ owner was telling us all about how she rescued them and now has 4! They were so cute and Penny loved them! Here are some pictures of that day:

4 Little Frogs!

Last night when we were out walking Penny, Casey noticed a frog hop in front of him! After a few more minutes on our walk, we found another one! The past week has been really hot and the frogs were in the middle of a street in a residential neighborhood, far from water. We didn’t want them to get hit by cars or dry up, so we decided to take Penny home and go search for more frogs.

After another walk around the neighborhood, we found a total of 4 frogs! We brought them home and cleaned out a cage for them, complete with pools of water, branches, leaves and rocks. They were so cute when they settled down for the night and were all sleeping on leaves and in the pools. We put a plate of meal worms in and they came right over and ate a bunch! They love flies too! We are going to release them in a pond in a few days!

Here are some pictures of them!

I believe they are Sierran Tree frogs, Pseudacris sierra. Sierran Tree Frog

Our trip to Santa Barbara!

We headed down to Santa Barbara after we went to Lee Vining and we got to visit more with family. We had a lot of fun here too-one of our best vacations!

Kayaking in the harbor! It was so much fun! We saw sea lions, jellyfish, bat rays, crabs, anemones, and star fish!

Our trip to Lee Vining!

We went to Lee Vining to visit Casey’s grandparents and family for a week in September. We helped out a lot around the house because many big projects were going on. We had so much fun visiting everyone and working on the house! It was an amazing trip!
