Shaver Lake 2008

We spent a week at a friend's cabin at Shaver Lake. We rested, ate, and played with the Griffins. Both girls (just 5 months apart) had a blast. I suppose mommies and daddies did too!

Our days consisted of...

Monday: Mommies rest and watch babies play. Daddies go back to Fresno for some unfinished business (oh, and Scott bought a motorcycle!)

Tuesday: Between AM and PM naps, we ventured out to a little unknown lake (not Shaver or Huntington, but inbetween the two) for a picnic lunch. Our little rock climbers loved it! They also got to be carried in while mommies and daddies hiked a little ways. Everyone took an afternoon nap as thunder clouds rolled in. Then back for B&J's date night. They went to H. Lake for dinner. Met a few locals and a dingy dog named Harry(?).

Wednesday: Are we renting a Jet Ski? Not yet! We visited the town of Shaver, had lunch at Hungry Hut, looked at a few shops and had great COFFEE drinks at Bob's Espresso. It wa Scott & My date night.... we ate at Trapper's at the Point (yummy!) and ventured off the road to find Big Creek (a small town for Southern CA Edison workers) and the back road to Huntington Lake.

Thursday: The day to rent jet skis? Maybe tomorrow. We went up to Huntington Lake to look around. Spent the afternoon and early evening there taking pictures and enjoying some locals singing karoke while we ate pizza by the lake. The small cottage like cabins reminded me of Fallen Leaf Lake near Lake Tahoe (another adventure we had with B&J before babies).

Friday: And the last day to rent Jet Skis.... came and went. We toodled around, went to get more coffee at Bob's and then took the kids to the park---- where the sun was beating down it burnt our bottoms to slide or swing, so we opted for the laps back and forth on a church porch.

Saturday: our last day... how sad! We cleaned up the cabin and came home. Scott & I then got to work on our yard. Niana's birthday party is this Friday, so we wanted to make sure there were no big puddles created from her big birthday splash.

Thanks Griffins for having so much fun with us this past week!
