for father's day, diegas requested to go north (only about 40 minutes from home) to figueroa mountain, for a picnic. we picked up some delicious food found a clearing and sat together. we listened to the sound of the grass moving in the breeze, the birds calling over head and each other as we talked about the various sights and sounds. it was gorgeous and good for our souls.
a month later we joined diegas' family on a camping trip (about 30 minutes south) at lake casitas. the fun thing about this location is the small water park. the kids had a blast and the adults did too. evia's most recent request to camp for 4 nights. she is set on FOUR nights in the tent. not sure mama can handle dirty feet that many days in a row, but i'm working on it.
