Berryessa July 2006!

Last weekend we drove the boat and truck, ourselves, and Bella all the way to Lake Berryessa for the annual camping trip with Dina's High School friends and their families. Although the drive there and back was long and somewhat fraught with peril (bald tires that we replaced, bad brakes that we replaced, feral kittens moved into the boat, and had to be extricated rather delicately) we had a fabulous time, and loved spending time with all the friends, kids, and boating on the lake. Lots of water this winter made for lots of water, and although it cooled considerably over the weekend, there had been a heat wave the week before so the water was perfect for swimming and water fun! Bella was a huge hit, she's pictured here with her new best friend Gracie, Natalie and Gary's younger daughter. After the camping trip, we had a chance to visit PNut's new house in West Sacramento- it is cute and perfect for her, with a big backyard and beautiful, redone insides, including a sweet kitchen with granite countertops, and the best shower I've been in for a long time!
