Its a beaut Clark!

Our annual Christmas tree hunt Friday after Thanksgiving. A very cold day spent up in the Pike National forest with close friends, fresh snow, leftover Turkey sandwiches, and refreshing hot chocolate.






Weston picked out a an awesome tree ( of course Bret got a new camera that he doesn't know how to use yet, so be patient )




'til next year!

Halloween

My favorite holiday and Tyler's 16th surprise birthday party. I am so thankful for only 3 teenagers in my house-- 20 of them is enough to drive one insane.

The ninja mutant turtles' long lost cousins....

The darling hostess with the mostess....


We had guitar hero blaring all night, and a disappointing show of trick-o-treaters -- next year's decorations will be even better!

Boy Scott Labor Day Fishing Trip -- 2007

Our 2nd annual 'Boy Scott" backpacking / fishing trip --- to Rainbow Lake northeast of Steamboat Springs.

Notes:

• 13.6 miles round trip
• 1300' elevation gain
  
• 8 good-sized rainbow ( I think ) trout harvested
  
• No casualties.
• Our 1st experience backpacking past sundown and in torrential rain.
• Witnessed a pair of bald eagles fishing--spectacular!
  

Lessons Learned:

• Powdered eggs are not suitable for human consumption.
• The beetles are winning -- better get out and enjoy the trees while they are still there!
