June 2012

 

So, here it is a year later.  Guess I need to be more pro-active on this blog business.

 

The theme, at least for the first part of this summer, is “Travels With Indy.”  Our beautiful granddaughter, Indiana, is 6 and a graduate of kindergarten, and she loves road trips with us.  In February Indy, Micah and our daughter Maggie, and son-in-law, Shane joined us for a week of watching fireworks at Lake Havasu and then a few days in Death Valley.

  

Our first stop on this trip was Lassen Volcanic National Park, where Indy worked very hard to get her Junior Ranger Patch for knowing all sorts of things about the mountain.  She also got a Lassen Green Ranger Patch for being ecologically aware.

Indy says it was very snowy there and had lots of trees and lava rocks.  

We also stopped at Burney Falls, where Indy impressed a lady so much by picking up trash that she gave Indy an angel she had made.
