the highlight of the traveling was finding

a REAL donut shop.

                                                   

in august we took a trip to see Esther and Roger at

there place in Madera.

One of the days we were there we went to

shaver lake. We hiked a bit, then played in the

water. It was great to get out.

                                              a strange lady sitting on the side of the trail singing
                                              and playing this drum.

                                         Ben and Austin trying it out

                                                                      

                                         we had a lot of fun hanging out, spending time with the family,
                                                  and meeting Matthew.
