Thanksgiving 2010

We had a snowy Thanksgiving at our cabin. I don't remember it being this cold at the cabin before. But, we had a wonderful time with Steve and Debbie. It was just the 4 of us, but it was very pleasant. The guys got to fish and Debbie and I got to visit and relax. It was a wonderful winter wonderland. Or Don would point out that it was a fall wonderland, as it isn't winter yet. Happy Thanksgiving to all. We are bless with so much to be thankful for. Here are picture of our new outdoor sport, "Pond bowling". Steve and Don tried to see who could toss the snowball across the pond. It added a bit a competition to our weekend.






Here we are on the back porch on Thanksgiving. They had to shovel snow so we could BBQ the turkey on the back porch.

Maryn & Lucy visit the Bay Area

Jess, Maryn and Lucy came to the bay area for a quick visit. They were here for two full days and we managed to squeeze in quite a few fun things. There was lots of babie play. They loved the fountain in the back yard and that became Barbie's swimming pool. We also went to the Little Farm in Berkeley, Fairyland, Fenton's Ice Cream, visits with Laurel, a visit to see their Great Grandmother, a trip to the Discovery Museum in Marin and a lot of play and fun. Jess got to spend a day in the city with friends and her friend Stephanie stayed and drove back to Portland with her. We had such a great time. Here a just a few of the pictures I took of the visit.
