Mammoth/36+37 weeks

My birthday has rolled around this year and as usual we took a birthday trip to my beloved home Mammoth. It was nothing short of amazing and uplifting. We decided to get a hotel instead of camping because it wouldn't be very relaxing trying to fall asleep with a rambunctious Daniel in the same tent. He gets distracted during bed time if he has people in the same room as him. We wanted to get a cabin in June Lake but we ended up getting a room at Juniper Springs, which is one of the sister hotels of the one I used to work at but a lot nicer. We LOVED staying there! It had a balcony with a gorgeous mountain view, a humongous bathtub, and a POOL! Woo hoo!

Blissfully happy at 36 weeks

The afternoon that we arrived we drove around to a few of the lakes, walked around, hugged some trees and skipped rocks on the lakes.

We went to Giovanni's for my birthday dinner and Schat's Bakery for dessert. We finished the night off with some swimming at the hotel pool. Perfect day! The next morning we got a late check out so we got in a little more swimming at the pool. After check out we went to the Village and we picked up my apple from Rocky Mountain chocolate factory. On the way, the kids ran into a couple bears and made them crap their pants, well if they were wearing pants.

Brandon has been learning to play chess with Papa so he was super excited to find this giant set at the Village.

When we came into town I cried the happiest tears when I saw this. John Muir is my favorite naturalist and this is one of favorite quotes from him. Absolutely perfect to see this coming into town.

We ended our trip with our much loved June Lake. It was overcast that day so it was a little colder than usual but we still swam as much as we could. 

And here I am at 37 weeks. Full term! Yeah boi!!!
