We took a family trip up to Mendocino to stay with Harriet and Larry at their beautiful house for Thanksgiving. Ruby did very well on the long drive.
There we saw our friends Junie moon, Sarah, Tim, and Kamala, Jack and their 3 year old son Aaron.
Ruby and Aaron enjoyed playing together.
Once when Ruby walked away from playing (she went with daddy to go to the bathroom) Aaron said "Where's my little girl?"
Ruby made her specialty, "hot-choc-mock-bliver" (mock chopped liver) as an appetizer and everyone loved it.
At Harriet's house we picked raspberries and apples. And Ruby learned to use a maddox (a flat ended pick axe) to help dig pathways to drain the big puddles. Our friend Kamala said she was playing with "country toys".
After dinner we all went on a walk to look for mushrooms. Larry showed Ruby and Aaron how to find edible ones. We also heard lots of frogs. We stopped by another person's beautiful garden house along the way and Ruby sampled the rolls and butter over there.
The next day Jack and Aaron took us in their big pickup truck to visit Glass Beach. Ruby liked picking the tiny, colorful glass pebbles out of the sand. Aaron liked running up to the waves and then running away. Ruby thought Aaron was very funny.
I think Ruby will fondly remember splashing in those fantastic puddles with Aaron. Mendocino has great puddles.
