We rented cabins for the week of Thanksgiving. Enjoyed 4 snow filled days of playing in the snow, eating, fishing, eating, playing with cousins, eating, board games, eating, exploring, eating, taking some pictures, eating, smelling like subway, eating, seeing the canyon, eating, throwing up due to car sickness, eating, gasping for breath in the altitude, eating, feeding the ducks, eating, oh....and did I say eating? We enjoy our trips with the Russell family! Thanks for coming with us and also thanks to Mom and Dad for coming with us on this adventure...we enjoyed the time together.
This is the view from our cabin...about 10 steps from the porch. Beautiful! Almost makes me forget the gorgeous upgraded cabin that we didn't get ...we're not as lucky as those who will remain anonymous :)
Another view from our front porch
Enjoying the outside. It would snow, melt, snow, melt .... you get the idea...3 days solid. Nice and sunny for our drive home thank goodness! The "little" survivor man...caught a fish with just a net. Keep an eye out for him to star in the next CBS Survivor series...

Do you remember?
I've recently been in touch with one of my BFF's from high school. We lost touch many, many years ago and found each other through classmates.com. (yes, classmates.com really does work!) It's been fun reminiscing about the past and remembering our love for the one and only PeeWee Herman. Mary - I'm looking forward to many more conversations and meeting your family!
Ahhh...the green dart ... we were soooo cool in that car!
Quick! climb up on that counter before the teacher comes back!

I SAID Smile
Amanda played PowderPuff football this past week. The Senior girls challenge the Junior girls to a game of flag football the day before Homecoming. I was attemting to take some pictures prior to the game. The conversation went something like this...
Me - Very cute...now smile
Me - Ok, not a crazy man smile...just a normal smile
Me - OK ENOUGH...please smile... (At this point Eric and Jessica are laughing so hard they are crying)Me with a disgusted voice - Just turn around so I can get a picture of your shirt

What a gorgeous weekend...
After a LONG and HOT summer the weather has finally cooled off. We took the quads out for a day of riding in the sun. It was so nice out, I forgot to wear sunscreen and ended up with a sunburn...but it was worth it!

Joshua can DANCE!
We met Elizabeth and Josie for Dinner and the So You Think You Can Dance Tour. We saw all of our favorite dancers including...JOSHUA :) After following the TV series, it was fun to see them in person and see all of the incredible jumps and stunts that they can do.
