Chico Fun!

We had a lovely trip to Chico in July - took a TON of pictures. Here are 50 something of my favorites :-) I did narrow them down quite a bit ... I think we came home with 400 pictures.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This first group of pictures is from our holy pilgrimage to Schubert's Ice Cream 

This next group of pictures is of the cousins (minus Max, who was sleeping) and Papa Rich in the Model A Ford he is working on. 

Here are a few of Jake and Mylie being silly .. they get along SO well for being so young. They barely had a squabble - pretty good for spending over two weeks together!

Here are some pictures from our impromptu family reunion .. My whole Chico family was there, Grandma Cornelius and Uncle Pete & Aunt Colleen were there (Dad's Mom and Brother and Sister In-Law) and Uncle Richard and Aunt Shelley (Mom's Sister and Brother In-Law) were there too!
