Memorial Weekend

Jathan had half of Friday and Monday off for Memorial Day Weekend. Our new friends Adam and Joey (yay for friends) called us on Saturday and invited us to go to Muir Woods and to Stinson Beach. We had a great time! Muir Woods is absolutely beautiful, filled with redwoods and other amazing trees and plants. Everything was so green. There was moss and ferns growing everywhere. It looked like something straight out of a fairy tale. I half expected a cute little fairy to fly past us. Have any of you seen the Gnome-mobile? It reminded me of that as well.





Adam and Joey are from Utah as well. Adam was in the Construction Management program and got a job with Hensel Phelps (the company Jathan is working). They are also in our ward. The super crazy thing is that Adam served a mission in Charlotte North Carolina, the same place Jathan served. He got there shortly after Jathan left but they know a ton of the same people. Samll world!



Jathans new favorite little friend... the caterpillar. He was intrigued by this little bug and made me take a picture. He reminds me of a little kid, sometimes I feel like I am raising two... ha ha!



This is the only picture of Stinson Beach I took. It would have been fun to go on a sunny day, but WOW, it looked so beautiful with the overcast sky. We did not stay too long at the beach because Zanna was asleep. It will be fun to go back and watch Zanna play in the sand.

What a beautiful place. This is so fun that you guys are there. I bet everyday is an adventure. I thrive on change and desire to hopefully move somewhere where I don't know a sole. I think it makes life interesting and makes you stronger. Although I am sure you are very missed in the UC (Utah County-not sure if everyone knows what I mean when I call it the "UC!! Just had to clarify!!)

Have I told you lately how jealous I am of all of your adventures!! I AM!!

What a CUTE little family! I would love to see those trees in person. THey're HUGE! And that picture of the Beach you took is SO awesome! I think overcast skies make everything look so beautiful!

Steph said...

nicole said...

you guys are the cutest family. And that Zanna is too cute for words! I wish I was in a better condition to come see you guys. Driving with these feet in my ribs probably wouldn't be the most comfortable though...

That place looks awesome! Isn't it a small world?? I love making new friends. We are going to the cabin in a couple of week-we are going to miss you all! Are you going to get up there at all this year??

I think i am in love with you, i mean Stinson Beach! Donde esta? where is this beautiful place. I have realized that getting married is so amazing, yet it sucks so bad. This is because I don't get to hang out with my friends as much as I used to. I love you merm and I hope we have more adventures to come!
Send Zanna and Jathan my love.

Merm,

It was good to hear from you guys! You guys look like your having lots of fun in Cali. We for sure need to hang out when you get back and we'll head up to the canyons and do cobbler and ice cream. Keep in touch! And tell Jathan Hello for me.
