Our Day in the Sun, After Many Days of Rain

After more than a week of non-stop rain in Northern California, the rain and clouds broke just long enough to give the twins and I a couple of hours in the sun on Saturday afternoon. Paige, Taylor and I piled into the car, loaded up our bikes, and took to one of the nearby lakes in our community. The afternoon was spent biking and hiking. Oh, and we also got chased by geese!


Paige takes her bike off-roading.
We walk softly, and carry a big stick.

Yelling "hi" and waving at the man rowing.

Taking a break from biking to do a little hiking among the boulders.


Paige takes off towards the geese, she knows she's got the advantage on the bike.


Shhhhh, very quiet now, do you see these geese?


A cruise along the water's edge and a flock of Canadian geese to complete our outdoorsy experience.

This goose was NY-city style aggressive. It was relentless, fearless and wouldn't stop chasing us.

I think that's some kind of a warning sign when it spreads and fans out its wings at you...

It eventually came over and started to chase Paige on her bike.

After our bike ride, we run around the paths along the water's edge.


What a great day biking and hiking - let's hug!

And, let's blow kisses!
