Springtime Activities

With spring so obviously here, we all have had horrible cases of spring fever! Luckily, we've mostly been able to ease it with all the cool things there are to do here!Skipping rocks on the Sacramento River is always fun and I always need the practice! Plus the walk through the woods to get to the good skippin' spots is a definite bonus to this particular activity!
Vanessa and I, particularly Vanessa, are crazy about kite flying! You know those incredibly sunny blue days when the sky is almost too blue and you just have to put a little color up there? Well we've been having quite a few of those days lately!
And of course hiking! Our new favorite place to hike is Oakslough Trail on the BLM Lands, but anywhere is beautiful this time of the year. Just look at all those flowers! And I think you can see Lassen on the horizon.
And of course, skipping rocks! We sometimes enjoy staying out late and scaring ourselves silly on the walk back to the car through the deep woods of Anderson River Park. The last time we did it we heard turkeys gobbling and all kinds of weird things rustling around in the undergrowth. I love the moon in this picture by the way!

I hope your springtime activities have been as much fun as ours and that you are all enjoying the season!
