We spent a lot of time in pajamas.

Well, at least this picture makes it look like Calistoga sleepovers were calm, quiet, and relaxing! It was pretty sweet to wake up to them in the same bed, though.

It’s true, the earth toots too:)

The goats! Passing time while waiting for the earth to pass gas.

Morning hike at The Petrified Forest in search of tree rocks. Because trees rock, thanks to Mount Saint Helena erupting many moons ago spreading ash across the valley creating a ripe environment for 3D fossil preservation. That’s one huge earth toot!

Fresh squeezed orange juice!

Opened, closed, light inside, dark inside, snacks inside…the magic of the cabinet.

Bank Board meeting day, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star had to be sung across the Internet:)

And air conditioning. (I kind of never want to give up quiet time.)

Proof of my lung capacity!

PJ morning with Xanna at the vineyard: a lizard drinking water, bugs galore, checking out the apple trees where Eater the bear hangs out, and sheep eating grass and weeds!

Xanna’s version of snack time is a bit different, chocolate milk! Vacation:)

Yep. No need for a frequency check or to turn the walkie-talkie on, everrryone can hear Meryl:)

Inflatable (or inflated?) impulse purchasing at the hardware store! Who are we kidding, is there even a parent scoreboard? Let’s not forget the six-foot inflatable alligator that’s half blown up…we’ll see if it makes it into the pool before my lungs give out.
