Labor Day Weekend!!!

We took advantage of the long weekend and drove up to visit Dan's brother and his family. They live in the Central Valley about an hour and a half East of San Francisco (so you better believe we visited San Francisco too). We left Friday at noon and drove the 6 hours to their house. After we got out of the LA Valley, we drove through mile after mile after 250th mile through farmers fields. It was kind of fun at first, but it got a little boring after a while. Below are pictures of an almond orchard and a vineyard.

When we finally arrived we got to have some fun with Eric, our nephew. He was full of energy and we had fun reading with him and playing with him, and Dan had a lot of fun rough housing with him. Eric learned a new word during our stay: BODYSLAM!

Here I am with Lucy our sister-in-law. She is pregnant, due in October with another boy that Uncle Dan will be able wrestle with.

After church on Sunday Eric's parents took a long time coming out to the car, so we took some pictures. Here's Eric with Aunt Em. Uncle Dan and Eric had plenty of time to be boys. They played with sticks, poked stuff, climbed trees, dropped sticks into drains and of course stuck their hands in the soil. Here are a few action shots:

Here is a video of Eric being cute!

After we finally made it home from church the boys had a lot of energy they had to get out, and you know what that means...BODYSLAM!
