On the way home from Eppies we decided to fool around at the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area.  Unfortunately the way we went was still a bit wet.

Job, ever my muse posed for some pictures

Notice his fake  smile? *sigh*

Then he had a great idea: “lets find a geocache!”  There was one super close.

The find of the day?  Sunglasses!

And that ends the saga of our awesome day.

Sorry it took me a bit to start this post!  I’ve been super busy and had to put the personal stuff on the back burner.

So last weekend we had an awesome day of biking, eating, geocaching, and exploring.  I decided to document it every step of the way.  The day before my new bike trailer finally came in the mail.  The boys are getting to big to fit in one trailer so two is a necessity.  We rode to Eppies in West Sac for a yummy diner food lunch.  I LOVE diners.  They make be happy.  And they are fun to photograph.

Job is obsessed with Aaron lately.  Wants to constantly hug and kiss and hang on him.

Food is always more fun when you share.

part II is coming up in a few hours.  Stay tuned!

I told my self no working on personal pictures until I’m done with all my work…luckily these were shot with BW film so there is no extra work involved.  Let me tell you…I am not a fan of manual focus.  That is hard stuff with active 4 year olds!  Anyway, here are a few more pics from our trip to SF…and a preview of our awesome morning the following day.

Yes I know the following two are a bit out of focus.  I was too slow and they were too quick.  Just squint your eyes and look past the blur to the cute cute boys.

King Tut

March 12, 2010

This morning I went to SF with the boys, my parents, and my Aunt Sue to see the King Tut exhibit.  The trip was supposed to be a Christmas present for my aunt from my parents and I weaseled my way in.  What can I say, the archaeologist in me is still clinging on despite my change in career.  Unfortunately the De Young doesn’t allow photography in their exhibits.  Way to ruin my fun!  Here are some pictures waiting around.  Not as exciting but they will do.

Grandma!

They love their Aunt Sue!

After seeing King Tut we checked out the exhilarating Amish quilt exhibit.  In a room off to the side they had these puzzles where you could design your own quilt.

Job wanted his all black.

Paradise Falls

March 8, 2010

Yesterday we decided to go on a hike.  I heard about a little place called Hidden Falls up in Auburn.  It was a short easy little hike to the marginally impressive falls that is very dog friendly.  Unfortunately Jerah is not a good hiker.  He fights every step of the way.

See his dirty tear stained face?

To make the trip more fun we told them we were visiting Paradise Falls.  Ever seen UP?  If so you’d get the reference.  Job told everyone we met that we were looking for Kevin at Paradise Falls.  Cute (and obnoxious, lol).

Grain

March 2, 2010

I love film.  I love the grain, the emotion, the essence.  I was really itching to shoot a roll yesterday so I busted out the old pentax I got from my father in law, found some film I had lying around and took the boys to the park.  Now I have no clue where I got this film from or how old it was.  All I know is that is came from walmart…which is funny because I don’t shop there!  It was also in color…so I probably  commited a sin by bringing the film scans in photoshop and converting them to black and white.

I left one in color.  ;)

These last two were taken at safeway.  I’m always surprised by the amount of homeless people in Davis.  It seems to shiny clean on the surface but its really not.  I almost missed her walking into the store…she was tucked into such a small area by the mail boxes.
