The Masser Story

The girls were invited to care for and ride Tucker, who belongs to a super nice lady in our church. We can't wait to do it again!

First, our friend showed the girls how to brush and clean Tucker; which was one way to introduce them and also teach them how to care for a horse.

Sydney was a natural and really enjoyed this day!

What a beautiful place to ride and enjoy the scenery!

Back at the stable, we also met a super nice barn cat that put our "tuxedo" cat to shame in the friendly department.

On our way to camping at William Heise park, we stopped outside of Julian, CA to do some gold digging. Syd has studied California history in 4th grade and was very interested in gold digging! Needless to say, after our experience here, none of us has quit our day jobs.......

Yeah, the lovely shiny gold covering the bottom of the pan makes it real hard to see if we actually got any REAL gold!

Oh, no worries.....all we found was Fool's Gold anyway. But we had a good time! :)

Beautiful views from 4,000 ft. You can still see the remains of burnt trees from the '03 fires, tho. :(

Hiking along with mom and dad! The girls love to look at the plants and things we come across. They are good little hikers.

Here we are taking a bit of a rest on another hike we took.

Great photo op!
