About Me

My photo
We love to take family road trips - Dave, Susan, Morgan, Kendra and Kody when he can go too. We collect state magnets so we know what states we have been to, so we can plan the next vacation. I (Susan, mostly) am going to (try to) use this to share our family adventures. Vacations, events, and such. So needless to say, there won't be daily entries, and maybe not even monthly, but I'll post something, along with pictures, from time to time. So, if you're so inclined, check back once in a while.

After Christmas Fun

We took a little trip up to Overgaard to see what we could see. Actually, to see if we could still find snow. There was some at the trailer,



but Dave needed more. So we took a drive up to Greer, to Montlure - the girl's church camp.



Such a peaceful place anyway,




but to see it all covered in un-walked in snow made the 3' we trudged our way through so worth it.




We, of course, forgot there was a cattle guard at the entrance!



Didn't get pics, but you should have seen our big brown 'bear' (Kody) trying to stay above the snow. It was so funny to watch him squint while jumping over the snow, trying to get to one or another of us. He had to keep us all in check, you know.

We found a hill to slide down and a fun time was had by all.

Kendra,


Morgan


and even Sue


took a turn. Dave did too, but the camera was off at the time - sorry.

New Year's Eve was spent in our 6 or so year long tradition - fondue'ing with the Durrenberger's. Our girls are so loud and crazy, but they have so much fun. We learned to play another game of cards - Wizard. It was a lot of fun! We might just have to play that again. Rummy gets old after a couple of hands! It think that makes - umm - our 4th different kind of card game we can play! Yea for us! Thanks Bill & H! (More Info and pics are here. http://www.azreadinglady.blogspot.com/)
Here's to all good things in 2009! We love you all.

I'm glad you enjoyed Wizard... until you get your own game you'll just have to call us up! Like you said, it's fun because it changes every hand. You guys are the best :)
