Lake Almanor

Summer school is over so Patrick and I drove up to the lake house for some much needed relaxation.  We headed out to the Rec Trail for a little hike.

We didn't have a backpack up here, so Patrick improvised!

Of course Beau wanted to go swimming!

A beautiful view of the lake with Mt. Lassen in the background

We have really been enjoying our relaxing stay here!

Wine Tasting

John and Melissa invited us to wine taste up near Amador.  I don't think we have ever said no to wine tasting!  We had a great Saturday and the weather was perfect!

The girls being silly

...and the boys being silly

 Our amazing picnic lunch!

Thank you John and Melissa for the invitation, we had an amazing time!

New Floors!

We have been in our house for over two years, and it was finally the right time to install new floors

Here are the BEFORE pictures:

The lovely carpet and linoleum



Of course Beau had to be in every picture!



Goodbye weird hole in the kitchen linoleum!

To save some money we did the demo ourselves, with the help of Patrick's parents

All bare!

 Our new flooring just waiting to be installed! And of course Beau has to be in the picture again

End of Day Two

Day Three...Beau snuck in the picture again

 

And now the AFTER pictures!

Now it's time to move the furniture back and enjoy our new flooring!

 The lighting was great on these pictures...oops!
