We left Bakersfield and visited my cousin Lynn, her husband Wes, and their daughters Emily and Kelly at their "ranchette" in Hollister, CA. We had a great afternoon rambling around their yard, visiting the garden, chickens, baby chicks, and miniature horses. The kids were thrilled when Kelly and Emily harnessed up "Viv" for a ride in a cart.
It was a treat to have a home cooked dinner and a visit with my other cousin June!! The next day Wes toured us around Hollister and treated us to amazing candy covered apples made at a local chocolate specialty shop!!
Peter, Will, Caroline, Kelly, and Emily.

We left Hollister for Mill Valley north of San Francisco to visit Aunt Nancy and Uncle Terry. The bridge and bay were stunning as we covered the ground to Mt. Tamalpias. We made it up the steep grade and driveway and managed to get the Winnebago wedged into the turnaround in the yard. Jackson, Nancy's donkey seemed unfazed by his new neighbors!!

Jackson says "hello" to Hallie.
The kids had turns at donkey rides up the mountain.
Aunt Jane and Uncle Ewen came over to a lobster feast!!
