December 2018

2018 draws to a close…..

The girls out for a luncheon.  This was so fun, we will have to do more of these.

As Christmas gets closer, we drove north to spend the holiday with

our kids and grandkids in Oregon.

Our road of choice is Hwy 395….. it is so beautiful.

Sunriver in Central Oregon just south of Bend was dry when we arrived.
The first night we were blanketed with snow.

Holidays are the best with the kids.

One day we drove up to Mt. Bachelor.

The kids skied for the day.  Grandpa and I

stayed in the lodge….. much warmer.

A beautiful day on the mountain.

Skiers have made beautiful markings in the snow.

We spent another day driving (till the road closed) up to
Paulina Lake (southeast of Sunriver)

The kids and grandkids snow shoed up to the Paulina Lake lodge.

Grandpa went with me in a snow cat….  Fun ride.

At the lodge, we all met up with the Bigej family for a great lunch.

A really fun day – I loved it!

The Pauline Lake area was snowed in…..

Incredibly beautiful.

The Fox crew at Paulina Lake….. So cold!

After a fantastic week, we headed south back to Indio.

Back along the east side of the Sierra Madres.

Now I notice, I didn’t get pictures of the kids beautiful Christmas trees.  

Both families had gorgeous trees. 

We thank them for a wonderful Christmas time.

Their homes in Sunriver are incredible.

Happy New Year to all of our family and friends.

What a great 2018.
