Super Fun Weekend!

It's been so long since I've had a whole weekend off and the weekend of July 6th and 7th I finally had one!  We scheduled lots of fun stuff and the weather was extremely cooperative.  On Saturday we went to Amey's for our second annual grilled pizza party (the GPP).  Here's a wonderful recap of the grub and the people over at Amey's blog.  Go take and look and start drooling.  I can't wait for our next one!

However, even more exciting than eating pizza is the chance to see Snoopy, Amey's littlest dog.  He's the sweetest a dog could ever be and is a certified love magnet.  We got some good Snoopy time in!





There's some other great ones here if you need more!

Then on Sunday Jake, Enzo and 2 friends hiked the Skyline to the Sea trail in Big Basin, the entrance being about 20 minutes from our house.  It's a 12 mile hike starting in the mountains and ending at the sea.  It's beautiful and has a really cool waterfall Enzo was really into.  I didn't do the whole trail because I had pie making plans!  I spent the morning making ollalaberry pie then drove to the ocean part of the trail, hiked in and met them about 1/3 from the end.  Then we all hiked out together.  Enzo was such a trooper over the 12 miles!  Jake said he stayed in the backpack mostly because he doesn't walk in a straight line and the woods are covered in poison oak.  So, for skin safety reasons Enzo stayed in the pack but got lots of on the ground time too, even if it meant the trail was hiked at a much slower pace.

A 12 mile hike w/ Enzo in a pack?! Holy moly!!!!! Is that his very own little walking stick in the one photo? So cool that you live so close to the grandeur - great stuff!
