4th Annual Henry Hike

okay, this picture should be down with the others
at the lake, I am too lazy to fix it

Ready to hike to Lonesome Lake







Someone was actually camping in this







hmm, this looks to be heading upwards







Kim and Shelly







break time






I'm not really enjoying this hike




















Gary is loving it too can't you tell?








Finally at the lake










I am smiling because the climb up is over





















































the kids were sure having fun







We roped some other hikers into taking pictures. We were



all dangling our cameras out to them





Charlie and Shelly and family


Teresa Tom and Tyler (and Gary



the dog)











Linda and Norman






heading back down









So on the way back down, we took a wrong turn. What should have been an easy mile back to the paved bike path, ended up being 3 miles, and a bridge to get to the other side was washed out so we were traversing rocks across, not fun! If I never see another ROOT again I will be happy, I must have picked my way over at least 1,000 of them on the way down.

This and That

Another of Nicole's modeling pictures





And Brooke, the nurse to be



I bought new end tables for my living room!





Watched Kali at her house the other day,

she was just getting over bronchitis and finally

wanted to eat something







And we got her out into the fresh air









Halloween

Howdy Pardner!



Yes, we got over a foot of snow right before Halloween



ugh





Trick or Treat!























I think this is an imposter... AUNTIE!














Yum! Chocolate!












okay, this one isn't so macho, but he will

do anything for a carrot!




ahh the life



Brooke going to play zombie at Haunted Overload







Kali and Mommy




so silly











Kali colored a witch mask





well if it isn't Strawberry Shortcake!






























Brooke's 21st Birthday







still doesn't act 21!





Dinner at the Japanese Steakhouse





Mom had heart surgery a few days after this, she is doing

very well!




Kali had a blast going from Mommy to Mimi all night






Karen came too





Brooke had her first drink, a mai tai and didn't like it











digging into some raspbarry cheesecake









That was Brooke's rather tame birthday. The next weekend she went to Boston to celebrate with friends, she learned that it is not good to mix drinks!!! hahahaha!






















Christmas Romance

This is an older book I picked up at a yard sale, it is an assortment of Christmas love stories, corny but good!

The Caller

I have been behind on getting some new pictures posted on here, from Brooke's 21st birthday and so on, I will get to it soon.
This movie was just okay, it was a pretty strange concept and kind of had some similarity's to Ashton Kutcher's movie, The Butterfly Effect.

Trapped

This was quite a spine-chilling (haha) book. The concept of it could easily happen, and it felt like it the other night with the unprecedented snowstorm we got on October 29th! But I have to say the ending is disappointing, very anti-climatic.
