THE ASHBY FAMILY VISIT REDDING!

The Ashby family (our niece Leslie, husband Ben, kids Curtis, Ethan and Sara) came to see us last weekend. We took an early morning walk across the Sacramento River on the Sundial Bridge. This is a BIG tourist attraction in Redding. Also there is a very beautiful, nice, paved 13 mile trail that runs along the river that is used a lot by runners, cyclers, and just to stroll.

POOL FUN

SARA WITH HER FANCY HAIR DOO

We all had a great time in the pool! The weather was GREAT! and the water was warm. Chris even tried out Dana's outdoor shower!

WE'RE GOING TO BE GRANDPARENTS!

Mindy and Shaun have announced that they are Pregnant! Package is due the first of May 2009. We are all very excited to say the least. Stay tuned!

Whiskey Town Lake

More fun with Madison. We took the Jones and the Christensens out with us, and had a great day on the Lake.

TRINITY RIVER WHITE WATER RAFTING

Madison came to visit in July and we had a great time - we, along with Robyn Jones did a rafting trip down the Trinity River - very scenic and fun. I actually found something Madison has not done before!

TRIP TO COAST

Well after living here almost two years, Dana and I decided it was time to see the Northern Coast. We had to drive over a couple of mountain ranges - very beautiful and green. Nice to see a green healthy forest for a change, which also goes on and on.....
The coast is also beautiful - much different than what we are used to - and pretty cold. Not much for swimming, eventhough the locals think so... I prefer my So. Cal. beaches...
