Pescadero goat cheese farm

Brian told us a couple a week ago about that nice goat cheese farm at Pescadero, so we decided to check it out.
Pescadero is a small town about 20 miles north Santa Cruz. The goat cheese farm has been operated by an English farmer about 20 years ago. The farm has about 200 goats.
Cheeses can be sampled and bought at the farm.

Lucas snowboarding at Bear Valley

Lucas is taking a snowboarding class with Ally. He has snowboarded only a couple of time before.

Mercer Caverns - golden rush

Lucas and Benoit played outside the cavern with some stones they found around.

Not sure that Lucas was supposed to climb the structure.

Mercer Caverns

Last weekend, we planned to ski at Bear Valley on Sunday but the wind was so strong (85 Mph) that Bear Valley did not open. Since we were in the area, we visited the Mercer Caverns at Murphy.
The cavern is 166 feet deep and has some nice stalactites and stalagmites.

In the old time, they used candles to light the cave but since you need your both hands to rappel on a rope, they hold the candle holder with their mouth.

South Bay String Academy Recital

Lucas played for the first time at the South Bay String Academy Recital violin, Benoit for the second time. It was a great event, thanks to Joel.
