Dave and I took some time off in the end of July for a little "vacation" to Northern California to visit our families and some great friends. We usually do a marathon weekend trip where we try to cram as many things into a 48 hour period, so it was nice to spread it out and spend some quality time with more people! Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera, so I'm a little short on pictures at the moment. As my friends and family post them elsewhere I will borrow them and tell some stories.
In the meantime, here's a little teaser of what Dave accomplished on his time off:
That's Half Dome in Yosemite! My sister Sarah convinced Dave to chaperone a trip to the mountain with her best friends with only four hours notice. Good thing he's in great shape! They had a few hiccups along the way but made it to the top with a total round trip time of about 11 hours. Here is a picture of Sarah, our cousin Bradley, Dave, and Sarah's best friend Natalie preparing to climb up the cables to the top of Half Dome. Way to go you guys!!!The was the most thrilling part of the the Norcal vacation. The rest of it was filled with great food, hot days by the swimming pool, the Stanislaus County Fair, a quick trip to Redwood Christian Park, Santa Cruz beach day, three year old wedding cake tasting, catching up with great friends and lots and lots of laughs.
I promise more pictures from our adventures soon... just waiting on Sarah's return from Australia with her handy little camera.

Hey, Mike Lockridge here.
Glad you had a nice trip. It is interesting that you went to Redwood Christian Camp. This Lockridge clan used to live there!
We are still in the area. In fact we own a piece of what was once Mount Hermon Christian Camp property!
Go, Lockridge!
Mike
Man I feel the "being in shape" to hike half dome. I just did it a few weeks ago and it was brutal. But Dave I want you to check this out...I think you will appreciate it.
