Back to Lagoon Valley!

For Veteran's Day today we headed back to Lagoon Valley for more mountain biking! Casey did the tough hills while Penny and I stayed on flat ground :)

Bouncy Ball Drop!

After our herpetology lab meeting last week we decided to drop hundreds of bouncy balls from the top floor of our building, down six flights of stairs, and see how many could get down into the basement. Our lab is awesome.



The one ball that made it to the bottom!


I am online!

A picture of me hiking and herping with some friends is on the UC Davis Evolution and Ecology major's website! Check it out HERE

You can also see me on Dr. Brad Shaffer's website! He is the professor I have been doing all my turtle research under. People in the lab and ME!

Late Nights

Penny being cute while Casey does homework


What does Casey get when he doesn't feel well? His comfort food: waffles and chocolate chip cookies :)



She likes helping with the laundry

We are moving!

As many of you know, we are moving to Georgia in January. We have 2 people lined up to take over the lease on our apartment in Davis after Casey graduates in December. We took some pictures of our apartment to show to them as they are currently in Denmark and Washington D.C. They turned out pretty good!










More Mountain Biking!

We went mountain biking today about 30 minutes away in Vacaville at a place called Lagoon Valley. It was so beautiful and a much easier ride than the last time we went riding! They had a frisbee golf course, a dog park, an archery range, a lake, picnic grounds, fields that went on forever, horse stables, and we even saw a family of deer!
