Alameda County Fair

Ok, we're a little behind again. Here are some pictures from a fun trip to the fair with all the cousins.

It's not a trip to the fair without something deep fried! Deep fried peaches!

Garbage Man

So after watching a video of a Polish garbage truck on YouTube, Noah has decided that if he does not have a shirt on, he must be a garbage man. This is pretty much a nightly occurrence while getting ready for bed.

His inspiration which may actually be the most inefficiant system we've seen!

Cherry Picking!

We went cherry picking out in Brentwood a few weeks back with some friends (who we haven't asked permission to share pictures of, so we had to  be selective with pictures) and had a fantastic time!

The camping trip that wasn't

We were supposed to go camping over the 4th of July weekend, but due to snow, yes snow, we could not. Instead, we enjoyed the hospitality of friends in Olympic Valley, CA instead.

Playing in the river, but we forgot swim suits for the kids.

Didn't forget the swim trunks this time!

We went to the park one morning so the kids could run off some steam.

We also attempted lawn bowling.

FYI, setting up lawn bowling with toddlers is pretty futile.

Navi managed to set up all the pins, but his sister took the ball.

Before heading home, we went over to the ski resort and watched a crazy skiing across a pond competition. It was fun to watch, but just strange to see snow like that during the summer. The ski resort had enough snow to still be open and apparently people were skiing in bikinis!

Noah's favorite part was the groomer that came down the run at the end of the competition.
