After our fun in Oregon we headed south back to CA to stay with Dad and D for 5 days in Hoopa. There we enjoyed more great company and lots of D's delicious food! Dad took Aiden and Caleb crabbing off the dock in Eureka using fish carcasses and a crab trap and caught 13 rock crabs and 4 dungeness crabs. Yummy! D and I and Liam shopped in Old Town, poking around in old bookstores, toy stores, galleries, and antique shops. Dad took us to play at several area parks and the river below the house. Every day the boys and I would forage in dad's garden for peas and blueberries. Liam LOVED the blueberries and could have sat there all day eating blueberries had he been left to himself. We had dinner and camped out at the campground (grandpa being the bravest of all of the adults sleeping on the hard ground with a very thin piece of foam beneath for 3 nights in a row with Aiden!). Caleb and I lasted 1 night out there and nestled our aching selves into the nice soft bed at the house thereafter. Mama rode on grandpa's motorcycle through the valley and had a lot of fun (to her surprise). The whole vacation was just incredible and it was so nice to visit with family again!
