~Winter Adventure~

What a really great Saturday!!!

We slept in, had a big nice breakfast then took off on an adventure! We headed up to The Falls at the other end of town. We have had 10 winters here and have never gone up to The Falls in the winter. I have seen pictures of them all frozen and thought it would be fun to see them for ourselves. Just before we got to the falls we had to stop to let about 12 wild turkeys cross the road. What a cool sight! Then off to the falls! They weren't completely frozen but they were still beautiful! We walked around, got some great pictures and let Drake play in the water. After we finished walking around the falls we drove further up the mountain. As we were coming around a corner, another truck was coming toward us pretty fast and not moving over, so Ward moved over to the right of what we thought was the road, it ended up being a ditch. We were stuck!! Lucky for us the man stopped along with his friends in their trucks. It took just over an hour to get us out of the ditch. Just as we went off the road it started to rain. It rained hard the whole time they were helping us. The girls and I sat there talking and laughing at silly jokes when it hit me.....This needs to go on the blog. My door wouldn't open because of how deep the snow was so we rolled the window down to get some pictures of our great Winter Adventure!! When we go home we had some hot chocolate, and watched a movie to end our day. What great memories were captured today!

Notice the ice climber?

There were 4 people helping each other climb the ice.

~Snow pictures~

I love the fresh snow.

I love the way it covers

everything is falls on like a blanket,

When we got up in the morning the yard looked so

beautiful we took out the new tripod and took lots

of pictures!! The snow made so many great designs where

it landed. The snow was so fluffy you could see the

individual flakes at times. Every time it snows it makes the

day so magical, it was so peaceful and quiet when we were

outside, we felt like we needed to whisper.

Winter BBQ

After playing in the snow I was craving a BBQ!!!

Ward just laughed at me.

I couldn't have picked a more

opposite day from Summer to BBQ.

We had the best BBQ!

Hamburgers

lettuce

tomatoes

pickles

onions

summer salads

and

lemonade

I love this man!!

He was making a point,

that it was a blizzard outside and I wanted a BBQ!!

What you don't see is he was wearing

SHORTS!!
