Another Summer Photos Dump

There are times when you don't realize how special periods of your life are until you look back upon them. I think this summer is turning out to be that kind of time. First some awesome guitar recital and soccer videos, then another photo dump. Two weeks and counting until we leave for Washington State for a much deserved 2 week vacation, one of which will be with great friends...

Summer Fun

Time for a short break from summer excitement to upload some pics of what's going on here. Also, finally gave the frustrating SLR camera the boot and downgraded to a model that just takes great pics - so back to enjoying taking pictures again. We have a 2 week vacation to Washington and Oregon planned for August - so check back then for the latest updates.

Summer Kickoff!

Memorial day kicks off summer here. We had a great day hiking at Muddy Run yesterday, and finished it off with lots of time in the pool, smores, and a fireworks show. Below are some photos from our hike.

Skiing

Had a great time skiing with River and Forest yesterday in the Poconos. Temperature was 55 degrees!

Winter Fun

We are getting our fill of winter fun now that snow covers the ground and the cold has settled in. We started our new year with a surprise trip to the Great Wolf Lodge in the Poconos, and have been sledding and exploring the wintry outdoors. Krem and Hirut are fully enjoying their first winter experiences. Not surprising really, Krem is an ace on the slowboard - See for yourself HERE. Click on the pictures below for a larger view.

Merry Christmas

Seasons Greetings All. The storm in the house Christmas morning was greater than the storm we were reported to get outside. No one was more excited than Krem to open gifts, but when all was said and done, we had to explain to him that Santa does not bring EVERYTHING on the wish list. Hirut's favorite gifts were anything to do with food. If she could not eat it, she moved on to the next present. River commented 'I know it's pajamas, but I sure hope their not footie pajamas', showing clearly that he has moved on to the teenage years of Christmas excitement. Forest and Stephanny, however, were ecstatic to get full length, to the toe, fleece footies. No Christmas would be complete without 8 pounds of frosting for the sugar cookies, probably 2 pounds of which never made it to the cookies. Nate, Forest, and Krem went out for a beautiful Christmas day test of the Kayak River and Forest received, just as the snow flurries were starting to come down.
