OVRO working holiday

We were up at OVRO for the past 3 nights and had a wonderful time. We had 2 great dinners and Bronson and I had alot of fun visiting the park each day, and playing outside. It's autumn up there, so we threw leaves in the air and wore pants and long sleeves.

On the 2nd night we went out to dinner with all the grad students who were up there; Walter and Joey were up working with Matt, Laura was up working at CARMA, an array near OVRO and Swarnim and Shrihirsh are 1st years who wanted to visit OVRO, having never been before.

I forgot to bring the camera, but Matthew let me use his on the last day. It seemed to be broken, so I didn't get all the pics I wanted... and as I fiddled with it, Bronson lost his balance and fell head first in to the duck pond. A local called it his 'High Sierra baptism'.

So, that was that. Luckily we had a bag of clothes for Goodwill that hadn't gotten there yet, so B wore one of daddy's old shirts for the 20 minute ride home from the park.

I read 2 books in the evenings and absolutely loved the dinner we had at 'Whiskey Creek' our last night. I had artichoke canelloni and we split a 6 layer piece of chocolate cake for dessert. It was awesome.

We were going to visit CARMA on Sunday morning before driving home, but there was a snow storm and the road was closed, so we did not venture that way. There was no snow on the Sierra floor where we were, but CARMA is on a higher plateau in the mountains. Poor Laura was snowed in up there.

Also, here are a couple pics from Halloween that our friends sent us:

The Wednesday prior to Halloween, Matt and Bronson wanted to dress up for park day. I did not want B to ruin his costume, though, so we came up with a backup that was park appropriate - Matthew.

Here are a couple of 21 week belly pics that Matt just took of me. Baby is kicking like mad!
