Kelly and I went up x-country skiing this afternoon with Holly. Kids wanted to just play at the house so we had a date!
We missed the lunar eclipse last night due to cloud cover, but awoke to a beautiful moonset this morning coming down right behind North Sister.
Some fresh snow today. Holly loves snow. She runs and runs.
Every third Saturday the local shooting range (COSSA) - Central Oregon Sport Shooting Association has a kids day where they teach them safe use of bolt action 22 rifles. They have smaller sizes for kids arms and supply the equipment for $10/kid. This Saturday was PJ’s first time. He did great!
Skiing down Outback with a great view of Sisters and Broken Top with late afternoon shadows.
Pappie (Ralph) got the kids snowshoes for Christmas so with the two pair we already had we now have a set for everyone. Today was ideal for a practice run with sunny skies. We hiked 3 miles.
Happy New Year 2019 from the Donaldson Crew.
After the Gormlys left early on New Years Eve morning we decided to have a quiet evening at home. We played games and even our dog Holly was tired and hit the hay early.
The Gormlys came into town on the 27th and we had a great time. We went ice skating, sledding, skiing, snowshoeing and spent many nights by the fire. It’s was such a fun week and lots of good memories were made.
My parents gifted us adult kids a Wanderlust snowshoe tour. We’ve done it before with them and it’s such a fun memorable experience. Thank you LuLu and Papa for the exciting night up on the mountain.
Christmas eve dinner and Christmas morning
We were also blessed with a white Christmas. It started snowing on Christmas eve and we had a great walk Christmas day.
