Friday, I took off from work at noon and we made our way up to Fresno just for a break from the "same." The traffic was a mess, per usual in LA, but once we got to Fresno, we enjoyed a very relaxing and slow paced weekend. We spent some time in the pool, although the temperatures were so nice (that is, not grossly hot) we did not spend the whole time in the pool. Sierra had quite an experience with the pool. She went from curious to scared to petrified, to okay to falling in and being petrified again. We both have scratches all over our arms from her hanging on for dear life. She paddled fine, but I think she was just worried about where to get out. It was very cute when we both were in the pool and she was outside; she would be very concerned and be running around the perimeter of the pool whinning. She also had a great time exploring the Peterson's back yard and being a spoiled grandpuppy for the weekend.
The best part of long weekends are the short weeks. I am already excited. I can now officially begin my countdown to our big vacation of the summer, which starts on July 10 (46 days and counting). We are planning a camping and hiking trip for Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks in Utah and Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks in Wyoming. Sierra will be going to the Ruff House while we are away.
I hope everyone had a great and safe long weekend!

Zion and Bryce are amazing; I did that trip with my parents when we were at St. Kates for their 25th wedding anniversary (we did 7 national parks in 2 weeks by truck and camper--sigh)! And Yellowstone sticks out in my mind as the coolest place of all time (even though I was only in 2nd grade when I saw the geyser and paintpots). It's really something else. That's going to be quite the trip you guys are planning. I think you picked the best of the parks. Thanks for posting! Alek loves the quilt you made him. He's big enough now to snuggle with it and smile really big at its softness :) I have a sewing machine of my own now. Still in the box. I'm scared to open it, because I don't know if I'll be good at it. You'll have to tell me your secrets. Sorry so long :)
