Yep!!! For all you Hot Californians!) We've got snow in Washington, just 2 hrs away (in October!). We'll be getting some cold white stuff soon too!)

Mom and Dad enjoyed the snow, been awhile since they'd seen snow, coming from South Carolina!

I love this pic!

We took a trip to Winthrop, Wa, another place you've gotta check off the list! It's a westernized town, like you could just ride your horse up to the store and tie it up to the hitchin post outside the shops! It's a gorgeous drive there! See what the rest of the US is missing out on!?!

We've got color in Washington!!!! For all you California people who got it all!!!!!!

We had to go to Deception Pass, it's one of those places you just have to see and check off your list of places you've been.

We visited the Samish lookout, or Bullard Hill? Anyway, it overlooks the Skagit Valley where we live.

Molly was excited to actually be able to pick an apple from a tree, guess they don't have apple trees just anywhere!

Nathan & Molly at one of the apple orchards of the valley.

We visited the Olympic Game Farm! We were very up close to these wild but domesticated animals! Most of them are retired hollywood stars!

We saw sheep, yak, lamas, goats, bunnies, wolves, cougars, lions, zebras, buffalo, elk, reindeer, prairie dogs, bald eagles, a rhino, tigers, chickens, roosters, and sea gulls!

We drove among these free ranging animals! Don't stop the car or you'll get a few dents from this guy wanting more bread!

I totally loved being this close to a zebra! I think they're such cool animals! Are they white with black stripes or black with white stripes? I love the sounds they make, so different from a horse! It was neat to feed them from the car window!

Above all, the bears were the coolest! We got them to stand for us and wave! It was so exciting to see such a large animal perform! They were even "cheesing" for us! Makes you just wanna run over and squeeze the big teddy bears!!!!

We surprised Ruthie with a belated birthday party!

Sisters like to goof off!

Mom shows off her handiwork! Table runners for the girls!

Yummmmmmyyyyy! A family tradition started in Switzerland, cheese fondue! Since it was cold in Switzerland when we'd eat it, it's become a winter tradition in our family! Cold weather and cheese fondue just go hand in hand!

We did a lot of eating, baking and preparing for the family reunion dinner, we had a fullfledged Thanksgiving Dinner in October! Mom and I even wondered that there were so many people driving around town on a holiday! It really felt like Thanksgiving!

Making our famous "hamburger cookies"

I think this dough has been in the fridge long enough!

Mom, making her famous gingerbread

And. . . . . . you guessed it, we had a lot of laughs!




Uncle Charlie and all the kids!
