Klondike Sled work day

In scouts we are going to a snow activity called Klondike. We needed to make a sled to haul our gear. So Roland volunteered his time to get going on one and let us finish it at his workshop. WE are so ready to go and i am so excited. I cant wait to go, i Love the snow!!!!!

Here is Roland working with mickey getting some work done

Mickey is working on getting the skis bolted to the sled

Here he is screwing the boards to the bottom to hold the gear

The whole group worked so well as a team to build it.

Here is the finished product so far,
all that is needed is to be stained and
we are ready to rock and roll!!!

Gone a Shoot'N

We took the kids out target shooting and had a blast. With all the safety gear in check and ground rules set forth for safety we were ready to go. Mickey is a dead aim got a bulls eye every time he pulled the trigger. Scouts has helped him so much understand safety and practice.
Travis was shy but shot one gun. Sam was shy at first but then she was hooked, she was miss macho out there.

Mickey and Papa time

Sam all decked out and ready for her turn

Travis nervous but cute

The boys ready and listening to the rules and safety guidelines

The Beach in Early January

If you havent noticed we love going to the beach. We go as early as 6 in the morning or as late as 5 in the evening. We go just to watch the sun set and early to see the sun Rise up. It is a long trip for just a few minutes of peace and beauty. The love to go to watch the sun do its "magic". Here are some of our latest venture of a sunset. Most beautiful i do think.

free stuff just to see if anyone reads this

WOW where has the time gone?

hello to my few faithful readers. I am going to make a better effort to up date this. IF not for you but for myself, i want to make a way for myself to keep up on what has happened. There has been way to much for me to talk about on this blurp. We have had family fun days, snow days, family days, hospital stays and more. So buckle up and hold on tight they will be short sweet and full of pictures :-)
