June 24 - Drive to Sac Airport

​Had to say goody to Jillian and Andrea. Their week in CA went fast, lots to see and do. Safe travels.

June 22 - Lake day and Maria’s Mexican Food

​Last full day in CA for Andrea and Jillian. Beautiful day to go to Scot’s Flat Lake to kayak, picnic and chill.

Unfortunately, when we were ready to leave, Shan’s all electric car wouldn’t start.  We had used the SUPs portable battery connected to the car to blow up the kayaks and then to let the air out. Learned a valuable lesson. Jillian and I do not want a full electric vehicle! Shan called the dealership to make sure we could jump the 12-bolt battery to start he car. Phew … made it home in time to go to Grass Valley to look at their shops and then eat at Maria’s for margaritas and delicious Mexican food.

Since some of us (Jillian and Arlo) still had room for ice cream, we had stop in at Lazy Dog.

June 21 - Father’s Day Bluegrass Festival

​Nevada County has the Father’s Day Festival each year. We all got tickets for Sunday. 

Chilling out on the lawn in among the pines listening to bluegrass music. 

Arlo snoozing  

The crew 

For the evening, Shan and Carl’s neighbors, Trevor and Otis drove their tractor over with some steaks he bought at Costco. He and Carl proceeded to cut the steaks from this large piece. 

Otis and Arlo are good friends and play together. 

This is the crew

June 20 - Sacramento Farmers Market and Picnic at Skinner Winery

​Sacramento has a farmer’s market every week all year long. Delicious fruit and vegetables and Artisan Alley. Something for everyone. 

On to one of our Skinner Winery, one of our favorite wineries for a picnic. 

Joe and Ashley, Xavier and Henri are visiting Drew and Erin so we were able to spend time with them. 

Home for dinner and a movie with Arlo. 

June 19 - Last Day of Soccer Camp, Shopping in Nevada City and the Winery

​Last day of soccer camp - look out World Cup, here comes Arlo. 

To learn some of the skills, Coach Ollie had them playing games. 

Arlo got a certificate!  

Andrea and Jillian hadn’t been downtown Nevada City shopping and the Nevada City Winery.

June 18 - Soccer Camp, Tree Work and then off to Tahoe and Truckee

4th day of ​soccer camp. Arlo got into it. 

Carl had some tree work done to open up their space a little more  

With all the noise, it was a good day to go to Tahoe and Truckee. 

On the way home the sky was so pretty  

June 17 - Soccer Camp and Swimming in the Yuba

​Arlo is learning to kick the soccer ball. 

Arlo needs to process what’s supposed to happen before he jumps in. Not a bad trait. 

Then Arlo was off to Gigi’s and we were off to the Yuba for some float time. Perfect weather and perfect water temps. 

All the way across the US - Cider from 814 Cidery  

When we got home, we had a little play time.
