After their departure,
we rode the new 4 wheeler trail,
then went for a walk.

It is just too quiet here, now!

We are so thankful for our family
and our time together.
Happy Thanksgiving!

A Fun, Fun, Fun Day!

Some mornings are quiet.
You know it's gonna be a great day
when your breakfast starts out like this!

And continues like this.
Thank you to Mickey and
Pioneer Woman! 
It turned out delicious
and pretty!

After breakfast,
we worked on an edible craft.

 
 
Acorns!
(doughnut holes topped with chocolate frosting
and sprinkles and a pretzel stem)
After a fun movie 'Ice Age',
we had a quick game of
cheez-it scrabble!


 
 


Everyone was a winner!

 The work crew arrived to remove the brush
from yesterday's tree trimming.
The reward?
Walkie Talkie Commandos!
Paying attention to the instructions.
Watching from the front deck.
 The commands were received.
 Command: bird.
Command: 136.
 Command: 090.

Back to work!
 Clearing the new trail.
 Enjoying the day!
 "Help?"
 Checking the wind damage.
 Planning the trail route.

Where have you been?
And who is driving?

 The evening by the fire.
 A little cranberry salsa.
A little love.
 A little silly.
A little reading.
And a delicious dinner!

Today in the mountains

You never know what obstacles may arise
when feeding the blue jays.
Helmet and goggles may be required.  


Oh wait, this is required gear
for safety when skiing!
Carry on, little man.
Sipapu is always the first ski area to open.
After breakfast, off they went for the day.

Speaking of safety,
this tree is down and needs removal.
Chain saw in hand, off he goes. 
And in less than an hour,
the limbs were removed!


Moving limbs may be a job for the boys!
