Our Little Get Away

The other day, Matt and i decided to get away.We packed up our fishing poles, camping gear and Daisy dog and hit the road. We decided to head up to Nevada City and Grass Valley to fish the Yuba river because we had never been there before. The original plan was to find a campground and stay there for the night, however we weren't anticipating SNOW so we decided to stay at a hotel in Nevada City :)

Its charming little town in the mountains!

We went fishing here but didnt have any luck.


Its still a little early in the season and the water was really high due to snowmelt, but we still had fun hiking and relaxing. It was a beautiful day! We found a cool park by the river. We played on the rope swing...



..played fetch with Daisy Dog...


..and I caught some Salamanders!!!


All in all it was a nice little trip. The only downside was that apparently there was an abundance of THESE where we went fishing...

We found a bunch on Daisy dog and even Matt was lucky enough to get one! Just the sight of them made my skin crawl and immediately i thought that they are ALL OVER ME! In my clothes, hair etc..luckily i was tick free :) Although that was rather gross, it was a small price to pay for such a lovely little get away ;)

Job Update

Matt is doing GREAT at the department and loves what he does! He even made his FIRST newspaper appearance while on duty...i guess cops make the news alot? ;)

In this picture my husband was directing traffic while this scumbag was being arrested by his fellow officers for felony hit and run. Exciting stuff huh? :) Matt is currently working three 12 hour shifts and gets 4 days off in a row....sometimes. Hes been having to work some over time lately for training on some of his days off, but he usually gets a nice break that i am quite envious of ;) I love hearing about his daily activities when i get home! Keep up the good work Matt! ♥

My 100th post ♫ ♥

It was so nice out today that we decided to go for a walk at Table Mountain.

Daisy dog came too...

While gallivanting in the fields she spotted something she had never seen before...

...Heffers!

She quickly decided that the heffers looked rather bored and that she should CHASE them!!!

and chase them she DID...

Matt and i were rolling with laughter! She came sprinting back to us so proud of the 'friends' she just made! :-)

A few minutes later..Daisy dog was ready for round 2...and so were the heffers! :-)

(The Showdown)

She must be very brave or very stupid....Here we go again!!

STAMPEEEEED!

When the heffers stopped running FROM Daisy Dog and started running AT Daisy Dog..it was time to go! She will miss her new friends..however im quite certain they will not miss HER ;-)


THE END
