Going Back a Few Weeks

I'm going to have to go backwards to get ya all caught up!  Let's go back to GARTH!  This was the first concert I had been to since Brian and I got married, and we are coming up on 18 years.  We were both super excited, and realized fast that the whole concert scene has changed a bit. There's now a whole parking lot party before the concert...and then another parking lot party after that happens. And, once again...my purse ended up soaked in beer, and I don't drink beer. I tried so hard all night to keep it sitting on top of my boots and not the ground, but I failed. This also happened at the bull riding event earlier this year. Live and learn, it's now my go to purse for any country event.  As for Garth, he's still amazing. It was great!

 Not bad seats, and I gotta say his tickets were extremely reasonable!!

 

That's Trisha.

So that was fun. Also going back a minute, Myles had a concert/play at school that was super cute!

Spring Break, 2015 - Eagle Peak Hike

Grandpa said he was up to around a 3 mile hike. He did not specify elevation change....so I picked Eagle Peak. It's 3.8 miles, easily makes 4 miles if you meander at all, and just over 1,100 feet of climbing. For a hike in the 3 mile range, it's about as much bang for your buck as you can get.  It was a beautiful day, not too warm out. Grandpa did great, and the mountain was beautiful!!

 

The rest of Spring Break is here.

Spring Break, 2015

Spring Break 2015 brought Grandpa for a visit! The kids look forward to this week all year.  We hiked on Diablo, shopped, rode horses, ran/bike/hiked, and due to a good deal, we scored season passes to Six Flags!! In no particular order, here are some pictures from the week-

Park time.

Myles and I spent most of the day together at Six Flags while Grandpa and the girls did the bigger rides. We all did the go karts together though, and had a blast.

Picnic time.

So fun, the massage chairs at StoneValley Mall.

Horse riding.

 

 

 

We had a great time!! Thank you, Grandpa, for such a great Spring Break. There were lots of memories made!

Garrod Farms, Saratoga, CA

Well, it's Spring Break for us, and I have lots to get you caught up on, but for now, here's some pictures from yesterday's adventure. Grandpa is visiting and took us for a trail ride out of Garrod Farms in Saratoga.  Great stables, great horses, great staff. It was beautiful, and the horses are trail horses that know exactly where they are going and what they are doing. No plow reining like last year's trail ride. These were nice, easy, neck reined horses that you barely had to rein at all. Nice western saddles, not English. It was a very comfortable (not snooty) ranch.  For those who like wine, there is also a vineyard and tasting room on the property...but again, very down home, nothing like Napa.  It was really a great day! Thank you, dad!

They actually didn't allow cameras on the ride itself, but dad snuck in a few. Thanks for sharing.

Good Morning!

A little gift for you to start the day with. 

It was amazing.

And he did indeed do the 3rd verse : )
