Dry Canyon Over-nighter

This slideshow is of a recent over-nighter with Miranda, Jared and Carson. Carson and I arrived first, set up the tents and ate. Miranda and Jared arrived about 8:30 or so. We played Rook, watched an episode of Wings (M and J brought their portable DVD player) and then turned in for a night of tossing and turning. (Plenty cozy despite temps in the teens, but this ol' dad doesn't do too well sleeping on hard surfaces. Morning found us braving the chill to take in the fantastic view and warming up to some hot cocoa and oatmeal! Miranda and Jared had to leave, but Carson and I tried to summit Mt. Baldy. We didn't guite make it, but had an exhausting blast trying! What a view!

Big Snowstorm



OK, so it's the 9th of January and we had this wonderful snowstorm! We were so enthralled we decided to go up the canyon a bit to a friends little A frame cabin in the woods. When we got there, this is what we saw. Can you believe it? The cabin was totally snowed in! OK, OK so it really is the birdhouse that was sitting on the backyard patio table, but hey, if you were a bird living there you would have been snowed in, no? We got about 6 1/2 inches which is more than we've gotten in the 13 months we've lived here! Just had to share the joy!

Yay! I thought you guys were going to get a snowstorm. but then we watched the jazz play the suns last night and I didn't see any snow on the ground so blake didn't believe me. But I was right! I'm totally jealous by the way! Hope you're enjoying it.
