July

We started our July on vacation!  We were able to visit G.G., Granddaddy, the coast, and the Redwoods.  We camped in a yurt on the coast, played on the beach, had a seafood boil, and swam at a natural water slide.  On our way home we were able to go to a Dixon family reunion in Idaho.  It was lots of fun for all of us!!

Visiting Shore Acres State Park

Exploring the beach

Camping at the beach

We slept in yurts and ate a lot of seafood.  Grilled one night.  Seafood boil another night.  The way camping should be!

Visiting the Redwoods

Bridge like tree that arched over the trail.  After beginning his ascent, he decided it was taller than he thought it would be.

Guarding the yurt...?  Being a crane...?

 

(As I am typing this, Henry comes up and reminds me of the giant mosquitoes that ate him up while we were there.  They had an evil bite.  Henry suffered the wrath of the mosquito far worse than the rest of us.)

On the way home we went to a Dixon family reunion in Idaho.  Not all Dixons were able to make it, but this is a good chunk of us.

Later in the month Henry fell asleep on the couch.  This DESERVES documentation.  There's a first time for everything and I am pretty sure this is a first for Henry.
