Shaver Lake - Oct. 20-21, 2007
















We had a great weekend! We jumped in the car on friday afternoon and drove to Chad and Lyndsay's new house in Clovis, CA and spend the evening with them and grandma and grandpa McCollum. Their house is GREAT! Then, on Saturday we drove up to Shaver Lake which is in the Sierra Mountains outside of Fresno/Clovis. If you have ever been in the Sierra-Nevada mountains, I think you will agree that it is a spectacular place. We stayed in Lyndsay's parent's cabin in the woods a few miles away from the town of Shaver Lake and the lake itself. We spent the rest of Saturday hanging out at the cabin, watching the blue jays take peanuts off the back porch, hiking around a development of "cabins" and playing on a rope swing. When we were driving home today, we asked Skye what her favorite part of the weekend was and she said the rope swing......hands down! She couldn't get enough of it.










The weather was absolutely perfect with day temps in the 50-60's and night temps of around 30.










This morning, after sleeping in a little bit, we got up and made breakfast and then headed out for a walk. We saw some beautiful cabins and it was just great to be outside in the clean air. Landon loved riding in the kid backpack and he had a great time watching everything around him. After our walk, we cleaned up the cabin and headed back to Clovis. After eating a late lunch, we drove home to Palmdale only to find most of southern California on fire from the Mexico border to just south of us in Santa Clarita. Yikes!!!!
