At a bank

Maybe, just maybe we will have a vet in the family after all

A mom can dream, right?!

Camping at Maibu

we love camping，and we love camping by the beach even more!

Helping to keep the fire going

Stargazing

Roasting marshmallows

Bat watching.  The bats came out at dusk and were small and fast

Ugh the pictures are backwards....here we were on  our way to camp

Z is a nature explorer!

apple tree! more to come

her fav thing: reading the map.  lil explorer is navigating!

tapole! with little tiny legs!!

hard to believe we were just an hour outside of LA

hello giant catfish!  later saw someone feeding apple to this guy.  no wonder hes huge

blackberry tunnels.  love them when they're warm from the sun

Checking out bday party venue
