<p>Levi and I safely made the trip to his grandparents' home yesterday. **The dry ice was a success, by the way. We took turns at the wheel...well, I only did an hour behind the wheel. Levi drove the remainder of the way. The gas prices seemed to increase the more we ventured into California.</p>
<p>We hung out with Levi's relatives for awhile and had his grandmother's homemade chilli dinner. I really like their home. It's tucked away in the midst of trees...or what Levi refers to as the sticks. They have tons of animals roaming around their home (Brewy raced after a bunny) and an elaborate porch his family built. There is even a little cowboy town his grandfather built for Levi when he was a little boy. <br>
We met up with his friends later to chit chat before calling it a night!</p>
<p>We took our time getting ready this morning before heading out to Shaver Lake in the Sierra National Forrest for a day of hiking. Levi's family and friends had a lot of fun here back in the days. We were meeting Ben, Ben's gf Elsie, and Justin. We stopped by Dinky Creek before hiking to the Old Logging Town. The creek water was very refreshing in the warm climate. The creek and surrounding trees were beautiful...especially because we don't see it all too often...boohoo! The buildings in the Logging Town were created between 1937 to 1959. They include cabins, a school, sawmill, store, office, and incinerator. We drove into the town of Shaver to get a bite to eat at a burger hut. The burgers and shakes were good but pricey. Off to Shaver Lake we went next. I waded in the water with Brewy while the gang swam. I didn't bring my swimsuit. Levi didn't have his either. He just stripped down to his undies and jumped in:) Brewy swam back to shore each time Levi carried her in the lake.
We arrived back at Levi's grandparents' home in the early evening and are contemplating if we should go out and meet up with the gang once more tonight...

Awww...best friends to the end! Dinky Creek with the gang. Looks like Elsie is taking a picture of the boys too.

Levi and Elsie swimming in Shaver Lake. Levi would carry Brewy into the lake and she would quickly swim back.
Brewy (A.K.A Boo-Boos) swimming to shore. **And yes, she does respond to "Sit, BooBoo, Sit. Good dog."
