Fourth in the Mountains

For the Americans out there, happy 4th of July! Without much to talk about regarding our adoption (other than 4 referrals last week--not too shabby!), we did have a really fun weekend hanging with my parents in the booming metropolis of Mineral, California. Population 90.

Booming. Metropolis.

Maggie was an angel on the long drive down...




Mineral is located in Lassen Volcanic National Park (ignore my Seattle-white legs, btw--they just may blind you)




The lovely cabin...



We did nada, zip and zero. Just mainly read, slept and yakked. (beware the picture below. it may traumatize you)




We also drank many, many lattes topped with whipped cream and crushed-up Heath bars. Again, not too shabby!




A lovely weekend! Hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th of July!

**Oh, and it was H-O-T!!!

    Cute pictures! Looked beautiful. You stayed in a cabin on a volcano? Sounds brave to me. :-)
