Here’s a ton of pics from our week in Santa Cruz in April 2012. We also hit up San Jose and San Francisco while we were up there.
Here’s some pictures of this summer’s trip to the lake.
We had a great time in Padre Canyon, little fishing but plenty of swimming an a little exploring. Some great weather too.

I finally got some pictures and words together for our trip to the Redwoods in June, it was a great trip.
In preparation of our big Redwood trip this Summer, we headed to the beach in our trailer. Stayed at Refugio SB and El Capitan SB. I recommend Refugio over the other, but both we nice.
Here’s the pics.
Here’s a couple shots from our skiing trip to Snow Valley up near Big Bear. It was a great day, snowed most of the day after we got there, took a long time to get off the mountain, but all the kids learned to ski.
Some more pictures from September…
Wow. I haven’t posted in a while, I meant to, but the Smith Household has been busy as usual. Here are some random shots from the Summer.
