A trip to Alta with Zoe

We went up to Alta for the day today, which was the furthest Zoe had been from home (It's usually a 2-3 hour trip). We stopped at Awful Annie's in Auburn for waffles/ Zoe feeding and changine, and then proceeded to the cabin, which was really cold. After un-shuttering and getting the wood burning stove up and running, the grandparents showed up and I got started with the sawin. You're not supposed to let the fuel/oil mixture sit for too long, so my goal was to use it all up. The thing is, a 50cc 2 stroke engine isn't very thirsty, so it took me the better part of the day to accomplish this goal. After five fuel tank refillings and a whole lot of sawing, I called it a day. We had fired up the tub, so I took a brief soak to soothe my by now semi-crippled back, packed up the Xmas tree that I had sawn down and headed back to Berkeley. The trip back was uneventful, except for the part where I set off the burglar alarm at my parents house (thanks for telling me it was on guys!). Here are some photos of the day:
