Waking up the second day at Snow Summit. We found a great cabin to rent for a couple days and everyone got real comfortable.

Third morning in California at Mark and Sara’s house feeling real cozy.

We even continued to feel cozy even as Mark and Sara were hard at work around us getting ready for a photo shoot.

Later, after lunch we met up with Joe, Brook, and Donovan!
