Yesterday our friend Mayu, the daughter of a dear friend in Japan, arrived to spend spring break with us. Spring is upon us and the days are steadily growing longer and warmer, perfect for spending time outdoors. Today Rachel, Mayu, and I helped Elizabeth plant peas, red lettuce, and kale in her vegetable garden, and later in the afternoon Mom took us three younger girls into town and we showed Mayu Grass Valley.

| We ventured into this gem for the first time. |
 |
| What a treat! |
 |
| We even saw some familiar faces! |
 |
| Decisions, decisions. There were so many flavors of ice cream, gelato, and sorbet to choose from! |
 |
| Mayu, Rachel, and I enjoying our ice cream. |
 |
| Rachel always gets the same flavor whenever we go out for ice cream: mint chocolate chip. |
 |
| Mom's Death by Dark Chocolate gelato was even dark enough for her. That's dark! |
 |
| I himmed and hawed and finally decided on some caramel nut ice cream. Yum! |
 |
| We all agreed Lazy Dog Ice Cream and Chocolateria was a place to come back to when we have the need for something sweet. |
 |
| After refreshments, we did some more shopping. |
 |
| One of Mom's favorite shops. |
After all this walking, shopping, and testing of ice cream shops, I'm exhausted! I need a cup of tea.
Such fun! I can't wait to visit the Lazy Dog too! :)
