HFL Company Picnic

Yesterday was the HFL (Mike's work) company picnic. Every year it is held at Pioneer Park in Nevada City. Like usual it was scorching hot and we were all sweating like we lived in the south.

Cole spent most of his time in the river. He made friends and one kid even made him a boat out of a cork, a pine needle and a leaf. Cole had fun floating it. I tried to get a picture but he would not hold still and I only had the point and shoot with me.

Every year Mike wins something in the raffle. I don't have that kind of luck. This year he won the best gift of all.

Cole was super excited about the win. "Oh wow! A baalllll". Now we have to keep Onyx away from it since she is on a ball eating spree. Last night she vomited up half a baseball (in chunks).

Bridgeport

Last Saturday we went to Bridgeport to take pictures of my friend Cindy and her daughter Bree. ( You can see a sneek-peek of that on my photography blog)

It was our first time there and it was beautiful. I had no idea it was such a popular place to go swimming. There were probably 200 people there when we arrived but since it was close to 7pm most people were leaving. The best part about Bridgeport is the beautiful covered bridge. A brown bear cub was spotted running across the trail just above the bridge while we were there.

Doesn't Cole look like a mini me of Mike?
Cole loved the water. It wasn't too cold or running to fast so he and Bree could safely play in it with out worry.

Siena hung out in the bjorn most of the time. I was behind the camera or nursing Siena. My life at the moment...
One of my favorite pictures at the moment. They look so sweet that you forget that Cole kept yelling mine and stealing Bree's purse and juice.
