We spent the Labor Day holiday at Mammoth Lakes this year. Lisa and I
went up on Tuesday, Caroline followed on Friday. We were all set to do
some mountain biking, fishing, hiking, and anything else we might come up with.
|

 |
 |
| This was Lisa's first trip to Mammoth, so we started by
walking around the lakes. |
There were some opportunities to get wet and muddy, and we
couldn't pass them up. |
There were some other places where the going got a little
tight. But our princess bore the strain with a smile. |
At least until the going got really rough, and then the
water bottle didn't seem like such a good idea. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Janel and Jeff discovered pinball on the PC. It became
a staple late afternoon activity. |
Late afternoon activity for Rich consisted of more cerebral
activities. |
Lisa did meld right into the rhythms of the cabins meals and
activities. |
We had a belated birthday for Sarah. She's a prime number again!
|
 |
 |
 |
| Lisa and I biked from the top of Mammoth Mountain. We
took the Gondola up, of course! It was a beautifully balmy day. |
Lisa figured out how to ride the trail pretty quickly.
That is as long as the trail was flat, straight, and not too steep. |
Then there were those curvy parts, with the deep sand that
were a little more disconcerting. Lisa figured it out as she went
along and became pretty adept for a beginner rider. |
A typical breakfast at the cabin. Rich made a HUGE stack of
pancakes for this feast. And of course Caroline (I'm sure you aware of
some of her dietary oddities) put ketchup on her pancakes, as she normally does,
with an artistic flair. It must be the Squirt influence..

 |
| We hiked a bit at Convict Lake. |
Sarah, Lisa and I hiked to the far side of the lake.
It was a little too warm for the Mommy-To-Be. |
It was extraordinarily clear this year. Last year the
forest fires had the hills in a haze. |
Looking at the lovely view from the far side of the lake. |
|
 |
 |
| A typical evening activity for the kids, pinball on the PC.
Jeff was a very dedicated player. I think he has all three high scores
now. |
Roy delves deeply into media, whether it be printed or
online. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| We hiked around Horseshoe Lake and then stopped
next to this perfectly placed pedestal. |
Caroline thought it was a great location to
show off the latest development of her profile. |
Hiking around the lake takes a little extra
support.. |
Our last supper wouldn't be complete without another ode to Sarah's Birthday.
I guess when you rack up that many birthdays it takes a little longer to
properly celebrate.
