End of Summer Outings

THE FAIR

We went to the county fair with our friends Adam, Deanna, Colleen + kids. I love to see the animals and eat the fair food. It was a nice evening out.

DEANNA'S B-DAY

We went out into the middle of nowhere to this beautiful cabin for our friend Deanna's birthday. And when I say the middle of nowhere...I mean it. This is Humboldt county people. This is the view from the house..nothing but trees in sight. This is off the beaten path....in fact about a 1/2 hour drive on dirt roads. It was so peaceful and beautiful. We had a great BBQ prepared by friend Adam (Deanna's husband). Above is Deanna and her baby Tatum Fai who is Noelle's little buddy. They are only 2 months apart.

THE RIVER

As you are probably gathering at this point...yes we do hang out often with our friends the Dicks (Adam & Deanna, Rowan & Tatum). They have been so welcoming and have really made us feel at home up here. So, here is another outing with them. We may have become hermits without them. :0 So here we are at the river...I think this one is the Eel? Not sure. We are out with the Dicks and our friends Chris. This spot is called Swinging Bridge. Once again this spot is in the middle of nowhere...at least a 1/2 on dirt roads...maybe more, but totally worth the drive. So as you can see above...there is this great rope swing at this spot. You have to wade across the river to get to the sunny and sandy part of the shore. You can see both of the Adams on the rope swing above, and then all of us on the beach. This was a great day...and for all of you who are wondering...yes...us girls went on the rope swing as well. Although there is no photographic evidence...it happened...and it was fun. We even did made Tarzan cries as we swung over the water.
