Family Hike
Last Saturday the 26th of June, Morgan, Noel and I went on a hike up at Sly Park Lake. It was 6 miles roundtrip. We hiked to a manmade waterfall. The weather was perfect and the scenery was beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together. Noel sure does well on hikes. She seems to love the outdoors! Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Glow in the dark date night
After 8 days of not being together, Morgan and I went out on a much needed date. We splurged and went to our favorite place, Tahoe Joe's and then went glow in the dark miniature golfing at a place called Monster Mini Golf. Morgan won by 4 points!! We had lots of fun!
Keddington Family Reunion 2010
Recently Noel and I traveled with my parents to Zions National Park, UT with my parents for a family reunion on my mom's side of the family. Unfortunately, Morgan's grandfather passed away the same week we were to travel and needed to attend the funeral in Texas, so he was unable to make it to the reunion. Oh my goodness I missed him. The family reunion we attended was the first ever that they had on my mom's side. It was sure fun! We stayed at a resort/ranch in huge cabins and did everything from hiking, ziplining, playing sand volleyball (more like red dirt volleyball), pony rides, swimming, etc. It was a lot of fun. We hiked to Emerald Pools which was 3 miles roundtrip and later we hiked to a place called Observation Point which was 7 miles total. We had fun spending time with one another and playing. After the reunion my parents, Noel and I traveled to Lehi, UT to stay for a few days with my brother Chris and his wife Kareena to help them move. Enjoy the slideshow of our trip! Thanks mom and dad for putting up with me for 8 days and letting me come along with you guys. It was fun to be with you!

A MEMOR-i-ABLE WEEKEND
For Memorial Day Weekend, our little family took a trip to Mammoth Lakes, CA. We left Saturday around noon and returned Monday evening. We originally had reservations for camping but it was going to be around 30 degrees at night, which caused a lot of worry because of Noel, so we splurged and booked a room at the Best Western in Mammoth Lakes for two nights. It was a really nice hotel, the nicest we've ever been in! It had an indoor swimming pool and spa. We had a lot of fun but of course, it wasn't long enough. We got to see a lot of beautiful sights.
On our way there on Saturday we stopped at a park in a small town called Walker so I could feed Noel and decided to try out the swings. It was a hit!
She was having the time of her life.
Here is a great view of Mono Lake.
Noel and I hanging out.
Noel sporting her new $1 swimsuit and shorts purchased at the Dollar Tree. I absolutely love that store. We tried taking her swimming. The pool was heated but not enough for a small baby (at least in my unprofessional opion;)). She went in to about her shoulders and she was fine but it started getting a little chilly for my taste so we wrapped her in a towel and Morgan sat in the spa and I sat there with Noel, with my legs in the spa.
Sunday after attending the smallest church service I've ever been to, we went down to Convict Lake for a stroll. It was so beautiful. There is a fishing derby that is going on there right now and those that catch certain sizes of fish get prizes! (Chris: I really think you would like it there. I belive the derby goes through October or November.)
The colors there were beautiful.
My hottie of a husband and our cute lil' baby.
We then visited Hot Creek Geological Site. It was pretty much a mini-Yellowstone Park. 
Just above the springs, we found some fishermen.
There were signs everywhere warning visitors to not go beyond the fence or in the water.
There were even signs that said specifically no swimming due to recent unpredictable activity. We were down there when the swimming started. It all started with an old man and his pomeranian dog. All I could think of was the movie Dante's Peak where there was a couple that did the same thing and got boiled.
Saturday morning on our way home, we took the scenic June Lake Loop. It was so beautiful.
We stopped and hiked for a bit. Noel loved her new little backpack carrier (purchased on craigslist, which we are big fans of). She was just beaming the entire time. It was pretty windy so we tried out her thick, pink, fleece-like, suit. It worked well and she looked so cute in it.
Noel with her Daddy.
Mommy's turn.
Notice: I am sporting the "I Love Noel Young" t-shirt. I always thought it meant New York;)
Just below Mono Lake we saw Panum Crater. We were basically walking on obsidian and pumus in this dormant volanic crater that exploded only 650 years ago! 
Pumus. It's really not heavy, I was faking it.
After traveling on a 15 mile windy road and then a few more on a rough dirt road, we came up to Bodie State Historic Park. Little did we know, it cost money and of course we didn't have cash or a checkbook on us so we took a picture of the OUTSIDE and turned around and left. Bodie is an old Mining Ghosttown. I've been there before with my family a long time ago but it would've been cool to see again. Next time we'll have to check it out.
Here's a picture of our happy little Noel on our way home with her pink little cheeks. She got a little burnt! Do you see her little tooth??
