Indian Creek

3 days. 75 family, friends, and friends of family I don't even know. No cell phone reception. Decades of tradition. The first weekend of April my family joins together on our property in the foothills outside Sacramento for The Chaix Family Picnic. I don't even know how long this tradition has been going on but I can say that it has only been a half dozen times in my life that I have missed it. This was not one of those years. I had such a blast hanging out with my family, relaxing in the warm weather, and even getting to see the Mathison family who joined us for the day. A few pics here and more are saved on my Flickr account (link to the right).

My mom and Cassidy "The Face" Craig.

The Mathison Family (and no, no one actually sleeps in the tepee).
