Nojoqui Falls

I've been a bit behind on photo organization, so I just looked at these photos we took back in March.  We took a trip to Solvang for breakfast and decided to check out the local waterfall.  We went right after a big rainstorm, so the falls were quite impressive...

I was about to say "it was a nice hike to the falls," but seeing that it was less than a 1/4 mile from the parking lot, I'll say, "it was a nice walk to the falls." But it was really beautiful.  It was still overcast from the recent storms and brisk and everything smelled cleaned.  Since it was so short we had Corban walk and let him stop often to explore.

We threw rocks...

And played with sticks...

And climbed rocks...

There was a ton of mud, but we somehow managed to keep Corban out of most of it.  A small miracle. It was really the perfect time to visit, and it made me feel better that we didn't drive an hour and a half just to have breakfast.  But who wouldn't drive an hour and a half for hard rolls?

Mother's Day Gifts

I know this is a bit belated, but I got my craft on for Mother's Day and wanted to share my handiwork -

I made this bracelet for Josh's mom...

And this for my mom...

That's me in the middle!  I didn't have baby photos for Gayle's kids, so she got stock photos.

I felt so proud of myself because I actually planned and made these gifts a whole week in advance (as opposed to the usual night before routine).  Thank goodness for Martha Stewart's website.  I don't care what anyone says about her, I adore everything she does.
