Oaks Amusement Park

 Mike took the little brothers to a movie so Vessel and I could spend some 1-on-1 time at Oaks Amusement Park this past Saturday.  We were joined by some of our very good friends and we all had such a great time.  I think Vessel couldn't have asked for a better day.   

Montana, Steven, and Vessel

Riding the "Frog Hopper" by himself.  It's a kid version of the "Drop of Doom."

We got to ride just about every ride together (that he was tall enough for) including the "Spider," the "Disko," and "Eruption."

He actually wasn't quite tall enough for this ride, but the worker didn't check his height, so Vessel was super stoked to get the go-ahead.  He and Montana held hands the entire time! 

Me and the little ones.

Camping in Klamath, California

Campfires are awesome.

But the smoke isn't that great, especially when it blows right in your face.

Little shroom

Yin and Yang (isn't the slug life cycle a beautiful thing?)

Wild blackberries near the beach

Spider webs

This piece of driftwood reminded me of the Donnie Darko bunny. 

Not the best picture, but here are the kids on top of the car as it drives through a giant redwood tree.
