Lovely California

You think we'd be 'laked' out by now...but how could we resist seeing the California crew and the beautiful "Lake Almanor". The whole lake is surrounded by evergreens and the water a nice temp. for swimming and skiing. But mostly we like to sit at this dock and eat all kinds of chunky salsas.Three babies were there all close in age...Liam got his share of girly bonding time. Liam, Luci and Lydia...even though there names sound alike they couldn't be more different looking...Luci won by far on the widest bum contest...poor girl.That is a 'Marty' face to a T...Ruby got loads of attention...(especially from her aunt-best friend-Kimby; thanks for letting her be your eternal sidekick-Kim)There is a park conveniently located right near the cabin...Marty's brother David and his wife Vanessa cookin' up a mean enchilada!Finally the produce guy shows up so we can EAT! Thanks farmer Russ!Boxes and bags of beans, peppers, cucumber, tomato, tomatillos, corn, all kinds of berries and peaches...etc...And the best of all...AVOCADO...Diane put this all to use by fryin' up fabulous omelet's each morning...Ruby would only swim if we were headed to the trampoline, she would stay the night on this thing...Ruby enjoyed the animal encounters...And Liam really enjoyed the mud...Honestly , Grandma was his favorite...Thanks Bonion's for making this happen each year!WE...MISS...AND LOVE YOU!!!
