so i kinda went crazy and took like a million photos during my weekend trip to the farm. so consider yourself forewarned, this is a very picture heavy post! to explain, i went on a little weekend excursion out towards grass valley, ca, to celebrate the birthday of one of my pals, brendan (he’s the dude standing with me in front of the fire in the picture below). his sister recently started a farm there, so we decided to make it a big birthday bash/camping weekend/ good times in the country celebration. it’s pretty funny, despite all of the flannels, beards, and puffy jackets, we certainly do look like a bunch of city kids out in the country!
we arrived on saturday afternoon, and enjoyed the sunny (albeit very chilly) day around the farm, keeping warm by the fire, playing silly basketball games, jumping on the trampoline, kicking around a soccer ball, and other such activities until the evening when a friend’s band arrived to play a set before ending the night with a dance party in the barn. it was all around good times, so i thought i’d share some of the pictures i took from when we arrived, fresh and ready for the debauchery ahead of us. i’ve spared you the photos from later in the evening, or worse, the next day. haha!

we set up the tent! it was seriously cold by this point.
campsite. i’m not gonna lie, when we saw our frozen tent later that night, we retreated to the farm house to sleep on the living room floor.

This looks like amazing amounts of fun. Campfire, trampoline, a dance party in the barn?? I'm glad you took a million photos to document it.
Haha, that red cup is glued to your hand!

Looks like so much fun! This is the kind of thing I'm looking forward to this summer. I love the red cups you have in the US, is that really sad? We just don't have them here!

Sounds and looks like you guys had a blast despite being city kids in the country :)
Love this post! Also, I was shocked to discover that your boyfriend doesn't have a beard. Yes, SHOCKED. Completely shattered my expectations…
But he's a cutie, so I'm not complaining.
I love this post – seeing what bloggers do on the weekends is so much fun. ;) Love the photos!
ok lovely lady, i'm in love with your blog.
PLUS I am from Grass Valley! I now live in Seattle though…
well, I'm from Nevada City which is right next to Grass Valley. Did you go to Nevada City while you were there? Did you know miss Joanna Newsom and Alela Diane are from my hometown?
I love that you had such a great time on the farm!!! I spend half of my time on a farm and the other half in the city!! I am currently living the city life – but your photos make me miss me farm!! I am glad you had so much fun!!!

It looks like you guys all had TONS of fun. I want to camping by the looks of this! Of course, you look amazing(:
can i say that i love your haircut? because really..

Finally, we get to see your boyfriend! This looks like a great weekend trip. All I know about Grass Valley is that one of my roommates went to visit her boyfriend in Chico one weekend and when she went to bed, her boyfriend and his friend put her in his truck and she woke up in Grass Valley.
But it looks like a lovely place.
Ooo, it looks like fun! And very cold. Cold in a good, let's all band together for warmth kind of way.
Aww the terrain looks beautiful. It was perfect weather to be outside!
