Tehachapi

On Friday night, October 17th, We drove to go to Tehachapi (Ta Crachapi) to see Cristin and Erik. Tyler had to work really late so we got a late start out the door. By the time we got to the big T it was a little after 11:00. After talking for awhile, I tried to get Lizette to go back asleep, and I ended up going to sleep before she did.

The next morning, IT WAS SO COLD. It reminded me of when we lived in Utah. (Every time I visit Cristin and Erik it is really cold, even in July.) We went to the German bakery and got some goodies and then went to the local Commy Coffee Shack for hot chocolate and to let the kids run around. After our late breakfast we went to pick apples and feed the horses. Lizette is really into animals. She loved to see the horses. She kept pointing and saying "Neigh". Lizette also LOVES apples. She could eat a couple a day. She loved picking apples, but she was sad when she had to put them in the bag. So she had to have one in her hand at all times, to make sure she would be able to keep it. We picked so many apples, and they are really, really good. We were all so cold we decided to head back to Cristin and Erik's house, Lizette and Luke played outside. Lizette borrowed Luke's coat, it was so thick she couldn't put her hands at her side, and when she fell over she could barley get back up. It reminded me of The Christmas Story. It was so funny to watch her.

When lunch was over. Tyler and Erik went to Mojave, to shoot some guns and to fulfill Tyler's dream of riding a bike through a flaming Christmas wreath that he made (which was HUGE). Did I mention the wreath was on FIRE? I am really happy that I wasn't there. I would probably be freaking out the entire time. I told him to at least wear a helmet, to protect his gorgeous hair, if anything. Cristin and I were so happy that they came home safe and didn't get arrested. After dinner and watching the video of Erik and Tyler shooting guns and Tyler riding a bike through a burning ring of fire. We had to head back home. We are definitely going to go back, especially when it snows. Thanks to Cristin and Erik to let us stay with them. Check back for a complete version of the Ring of Fire music video. Thanks for editing it for us Cristin.
