After enjoying a sunny California morning, we were on our way to the lake!

Isn’t this just perfect for the Ziemke family!?!  They are so cool!

I love the Ziemke’s new bonsai trees… these little trees have always fascinated me!

 

Rose was ready for a nap right as we were loading up the car – great timing!

Corbin and Lauren were so good with Rose!

This picture of the California countryside was taken from inside the car on the way to the lake.  Although the drive was 7 hours, it didn’t feel like it at all because of the beautiful scenery.

We finally made it to our ultimate relaxation destination, and Rose was ready to cuddle up with all her new buddies!

Lauren must have taken this picture because I found it on the camera when I got home – so cute!!!

This is the view from the deck of the cabin at Nacimiento.  It was the perfect temperature… not too hot, not too cold!

Rose and Grandpa Jim were ready to have some fun!

I brought a special pumpkin cupcake surprise and made it right off the bat so that we could enjoy them all week.  I topped it off with cream cheese icing and peanut butter cup chocolate chips!

Rose and Grandpa Jim had a crawling race across the room.  Rose was tickled to have so much attention!

These are all my treats!  I made chocolate pumpkin cupcakes too, some with icing and some with powdered sugar!  Cindy didn’t like them at all (she’s weird), but Curt ate one every day and even finished them off for breakfast the last day, so I’d call them a hit!!!
