Memorial Day Weekend in NorCal

We spent a very nice Memorial Day weekend with my parents and sister's family up in Fairfield. I'm just going to post a barrage of pictures. We spent Friday at Muir Woods and Muir beach. Saturday Ike was sick so we stuck close to home but the adults all got out to see the latest Pirates movie that night. Sunday we played several heated rounds of Ticket to Ride, and by Monday my parents had caught the flu we brought with us (sorry guys!) so we just made a quick trip to Vacaville's Nut Tree before heading back to Visalia. It was so nice to see family though. We really miss not being closer!


One quick story from our Muir Woods walk. Aunt Briana stepped off the path for a second and Nora caught her. She called,"Aunt Briana! I don't think you should do that!" Branden jokingly asked Nora what should happen to Briana for stepping off the path. "Should she get a time out? Should she go to jail?" 
"No," Nora replied. "She didn't do something THAT bad." 
"Well what kind of bad things do you have to do to go to jail?"
"You know, like, eat people."
Uh, yes, Nora, that would do it! Glad she can distinguish between degrees of badness. :)

 Claire was delighted with Nora. She followed her everywhere all weekend.
