….the guys go skiing
Don and Quinn had a great time and with each run Quinn got more confident and more skilled. He\’s becoming a great little skier.
This is an awesome video Don shot of Quinn skiing but you really need to watch to the end for the good part. It\’s at about 1:20.
Ross and I returned to Maryland for a week in January to bury moms remains and have a short service. It was just the family, including my cousin Susan, and a small group of moms best-est of friends.
After the service we had lunch at one of moms favorite places where she and the ladies would go for 1/2 price appetizers during happy hour. It was a great place to remember her.
Quinn\’s class studied the colonial days and as part of that he had to create a Sit Upon where he sewed together patches of fabric and stuffed it. They use their sit upons for reading in the hallway or when going to school assemblies. A special treat for 5th graders only.
Saturday walks in our green hills. Don picked up this walking stick for Quinn in a gas station on our way back from Mammoth. Quinn calls it his Daisy Stick because there is a daisy engraved in the stick.
While the rest of the country is blanketed in an arctic freeze, we are enjoying a California January.
While Quinn was in Odyssey, Don and I went searching for a magnificent oak tree. This one was pretty sweet.
We hiked 1000 ft up and had a gorgeous view of Westlake.
Looking towards Camarillo.
It might have been a little windy.
And that same oak tree from the other side. I love how these trees come to life.
And a morning puzzle for this guy.
