Cali pics finally!!

Here are some of the Tahoe pictures. We decided to get some cute fam pics on this dock because it was beautiful with the water and the mountains in the background. There were a lot of cute ones but I narrowed it down to these few.










This is the house Mom spent about a year in when she was a little girl. It is such a cute little house in a quaint little neighborhood in Tahoe. It was fun to see her get excited about seeing it and talk about some of the memories she could muster up from her childhood.

These were taken at an orchard/vinyard near Sacramento. We stopped here on the way from Tahoe to Uncle Troy's house in Sac. It was beautiful, I couldn't stop taking pictures. The colors were so vivid and it just went on forever.



Here are the pics of the Oakland game we went to on Thursday. It is always fun to see a professional baseball stadium. A ball was hit right in front of us and the guy who caught it gave it to Calyn. I guess she put on her charms. We were able to get one of the Oakland players, Dallas Braden, to give us his autograph. The picture of the A's player batting is actually Jason Giambi.






After the A's game we drove over to San Fransisco. We went to Pier 39, Bubba Gump, the crookedest and steepest roads, etc. Here are some of the pics of our San Fran segment of the trip.






These two pics are in front of the steepest road, but none of the pics I took even came close to doing it justice so this is as good as it gets.

While in Sacramento we decided to have a volleyball faceoff, Demi and I vs. Troy, Dad, and Devin. Troy has been talking smack about Demi's and my athletic ability so it finally came down to a girl victory best 2 of 3 match. Eat that troy! Oh, and...trophy?...The rest are just pics at Troy's house. Calyn made friends with Cara's neice, Amy. They were really cute and played well together.

You are so pretty! Love the ocean shot with Rylan! Great bum shot too! Is there an exclamation point limit?!

It's fun to see pics of a place I've actually been in S.F. We have almost identical pics of Lombard St. and the pier. So fun.

I love the picture of the seals! Those little cuties were barking the whole time that Trevor was proposing to me. Brought back tons of memories. I can't believe it has been 10 years since I have been there.

I like the picture of you serving the ball. Action pics are the best! It looks like you guys had some serious fun!
