Paradise Falls

I have the best husband ever. As I got out of the shower this morning, I found this note:

If you haven't seen "Up" yet, then the reference to Paradise Falls and Mr. Fredricksen makes no sense. We recently watched that movie and both cried. It's such a cute movie. We laughed a lot too (Kevin's a girl?) and just really enjoyed it. Since then, we call each other the names of the old couple in love in the movie, Ellie and Mr. Fredricksen. So I found this note (Ryan's penmanship isn't that bad; he wrote this with his left hand) and I thought, "Oh, how cute! A picnic lunch later on. We'll probably just go to the a nearby park." I had a visiting teaching appointment at 10:00 and then would subsequently be visit taught at 2:00 so we had a small window of time to work with. Ryan took care of all of it though. He got Zoe ready, packed lunches and brought everything we'd need for our little outing. He found this place up near Auburn called Hidden Falls. It was about a 45 minute hike to the falls. Today was such a beautiful day and I couldn't have asked for a better time.

Gotta love CA weather. It's almost Thanksgiving and no need for a jacket. Zoe is all bundled up though. Gotta make sure she doesn't get the slightest bit chilly!

Just getting started on the hike.

Glamour shot.

Can you spot the wild ferocious bobcat? Hint: it's hiding behind the tree.

Scenic spot stop.

Only the world's cutest baby!

The Hidden Falls. Not so hidden anymore! Ha ha! We found you!

Zoe got a big dose of sunshine today.
