three generations of sutton-spades. how lovely.

it's good to take a rest in the shade sometimes. 

what you can't see are the thousands of bits of sand that dori is bravely eating. homeopathic! 

mama and nama enjoy the view of the russian river (riley took this picture, so it's practically like he's in it.) 

riley wasn't quiiiite sure whether to dip his toes in the water.

ben is a "camp it up" old timer who really took riley under his wing and showed him the ropes. thanks, ben! 

the rental company gave us a giant suv instead of the minivan we requested. everyone was mortified except for riley who thought it was the best thing since sliced bread.
