Being in the Sierras was so incredibly refreshing to our souls. I had a new overwhelming appreciation for the mountains and their cool dry air. The drive along 395 is one of the most beautiful places on the the planet - the lines and the horizon, green valleys and jagged peaks - to me it speaks of a skilled and awesome Creator. So thankful for this time we had with Ben's family.
The boys and Melissa went on an off-roading locals-only fishing adventure. I was slightly disappointed not to be able to go, tho on the other hand off-roading makes me so nervous!! Always afraid I'll fall off a cliff.
Meanwhile Rosie, Jessie, the girls and I had lunch at Schaat's and browsed antiques in Bishop.

Melissa, I wish you were in this picture!!
I read The Kitchen House [a good story... not amazing] and started The Shipping News.
before dinner at Convict Lake. There was a huge fire near Mammoth and it was pretty smoky, but still beautiful. My parents ate at that restaurant on their way to their honeymoon in '65!

Fishing in the Owen's River Valley. The picture of the daisies in my title bar thing there are from this valley 5 years ago!
We stayed in a little cabin, but Matty and Melissa camped close by. One of my favorite nights was sitting around the campfire here eating BBQ'd trout [again, Melissa, I'm sad you had left :( ]

Edie is in love with Ben and Jessie's dog, Tula. She repeatedly asked us to take a picture of them together. Look how serious her pose is!
