Jeffery comes home to do regular things!

I headed up to get Jeffery from the Reno Airport.  He thought that our little international airport was really nice.  Perhaps it's because it's so small and convenient.  After I got him home and let him get settled, we started meeting up with folks, taking practice hikes before he heads to Mt. Whitney, and having regular life at home.

Pretty scene on the way to Reno

trippy view through my window as I head up Hwy 395

There's Jeffery!

Jeffery reviews his mountaineering gear ahead of time.

blurry photo of Matt and Wendie, but it's the only one I got of Wendie, except when swimming

Matt and Kyria race up the rough hill while Jeffery, Wendie, and I wait at the bottom

Jeffery dives into the beautiful water

Jeffery in the American River on October 19th

Matthew proves his mettle, too
I like this one of Kyria and Wendie, due to the white foam "mermaid's tails" they seem to have

The Monday Girls Hike was joined by boys!  We hike up the Rock Creek Road, Jeffery practicing with carrying his pack
Sara has to carry Roxie up the rougher parts of the road

setting up a photo shoot

my version of the photo pose

a curve in the road, commonly referred to as a switch-back

I just liked this view

Jeffery took this

group shot!
back down to the highway in time to see the train go by
Grant and Sara joined us for a visit and supper
Apples!

Jeffery enjoys the old-fashioned fun of picking apples from our own tree!
A few more later in a seperate post; to make room for Jeffery's photos when he returns from his mountaineering adventure.
