Folsom "Puddle"

Although it's nothing compared to what people face in other countries, California is facing a drought this year.  The result for a while was a VERY LOW lake, or as people started calling it, a "puddle."  We missed it at its very lowest, which was a week earlier before it rained once, but it was still very low when we finally had the time to all go check it out.  

 I really enjoyed getting to connect with Alison on days like this. Just really nice to talk about being mommies, wives, and life with God.

 AND Cindy was here for a weekend at the same time!  A little nephew/aunt race!

 Even when it's brown everywhere, I still really enjoy the trees in this area, and rolling hills.  Since it rained once there was a little green coming on the day we were there.

 See, more of me and Matt.  We ARE still part of life around here. :)  Not just Caleb.

This whole area is normally covered with water, but used to be a town.  Most of what we saw was just old foundations of buildings, and somewhat of where a road must have been.  Pretty weird.

 Just modeling my fancy backpack. :)

Caleb LOVES his aunts!  He was a bit spoiled that weekend.

 LOVE MY SISTER!!!

 Being silly on some city remains.

 More remains....perfect for going potty behind since no bathrooms around and the trees were WAY up the hill.

 Group photo....Judy came too!  Such a good time together!

 Lots of cuddles from a tired, cold boy.  Mommy isn't complaining.

 I just think this picture is funny because of what Abby and Caleb are both doing.

 I need Cindy around more often.  She captured some mommy/son memories that are just day to day but I love them.

A great day together
