4th of July '17

long 4-day weekend of patriotic puppies and fireworks. we pretended, after a bet, to be digging up the Anderson's front yard after they took us out on Lake Nacimiento. 

Saturday morning hike up Madonna mountain  

west from Madonna mountain  

Sunday hike to the same peak and looking east at James  

spending time walking Rosie, trying out my camera, enjoying home cooked food and surfing 

James paddling over while I caught this wave. The afternoon weather was perfect for a surf

cliff climbing and jumping at Lake Nacimiento  

Mia's family's friends, the Anderson's invited us up to their Lake Nacimiento house and on the pontoon and wakeboard boat. The pontoon boat acted as a mothership anchored in a cove with the cliffs while people took turns out skurfing (my first time), wakeboarding and tubing. It was a perfect lake day that I've been wanting to have for years.
