Christmas up in the snow

The Seqioua National Park with it's giagantic Red Wood trees remains a favourite place for Paul and me. This time we enjoyed it in the snow and it was just breathtaking beautiful.

The kids was so warm they could bearly moved, but we played and laughed and had so much fun.

Our San Diego friends, Mark and Jilly, came to visit and went with us. Their kids had never played in the snow....

May the peace of God be with you today and everyday.

The Reed visit

A visit from the Reed kids.....

The city slickers, Adam and Caleb, trying their hands on electric fencing.....they did a great job.

The stakes and hammer...the auwiiee finger and the bloooodddly blister. We won't tell who's the owner of both these fingers.....

William and Mike raked leaves 'till they dropped....

William got tired of leaves dropping onto his "clean raked ground" so he got up into the tree and started picking them off....

The girls, on the other hand, had fun with the foot spa and pedicures...and so did Lehman..... enjoyed the bubbles. Rachel (in the back)helped me by putting stamps on our Christmas cards.
