How fun! Was there lot’s of snow in the mountains? Did you get to build a real snowman? We miss you, too. We can’t wait to play with you again.

No I didn’t make a snowman but I made snowballs and had a snowball fight with my mom and sister. We went ice skating at Tenaya Lodge. There was lots of snow.

Actually, we were at a motel in Oakhurst when Chad made that comment on Saturday night. Not sure why it didn’t post…so I re-posted it for him. Great pics! On the way home last night the sun was setting as we drove up the hill out of Oakhurst so I drove up the ridge towards Camp Oakhurst. Just past the turn to go to the camp on the left was a cul-de-sac that ended on the ridge between two big houses. We walked out between the bushes on these two big boulders and had a beautiful panoramic view of the valley. Stacy and I took some photos of a rainbow over the valley. Absolutely breathtaking!
Oh well, enough about us. 🙂

Cosmic Radiation Could Cause Alzheimer’s in Mars Astronauts
Space travel has always been portrayed as risky — no air or water, extreme temperatures — a place where even a small miscalculation can be fatal. It can also be hazardous to your brain health, particularly on a three-year-long mission to Mars, according to a study published this week in the scientific journal PLOS ONE.
Joel, I’ve changed my mind about touring space, even to Mars. You’ll have to find someone else to go with. Maybe Opa Dave would be interested.

Oh, how special to get these wonderful updates of your precious family. Let us know a bit about Camp Oakhurst, please. Don’t remember if we told you that we have set down the landing gear on our rig (semi-permanently) in Coarsegold, just down the hill from Camp Oakhurst. May our God continue to bless you and the work you do for Him.

Before we had our visit with you up on Palomar Mountain we spent a wonderful year working at Camp Oakhurst. Have not been back there since our move to Hawaii but my brother just visited there and says it’s as beautiful as ever.

Happy New Year! No polar bear plunge for Tom over there, huh? 😉 Spent New Year’s Eve day in the snow at Justin and Susie’s. Well, the guys and the kids did…..Morgan, Susie, and I stayed warm and dry in cute little shops and Starbucks.
Did the goodies survive the trip over?

Oh my gosh, what a cool way to spend the holiday. Sleeping out under the shooting stars — is there anything cooler than that!

They’d sleep out there every night if we let them but it does take a long time for them to settle down and then there’s the ever-present issue of whose turn it is to sleep in the hammock. From the picture, it looks like Nate had it snagged the night of the Geminids. Thanks for stopping by!

I was curious and wanted to know a little more about your church waaaaay over there in Hawaii. I remembered your candlelight pic from this post, so I stopped back by here. (And I just love this blog, by the way! What great memories.) So, I have a silly question. I see this picture of cinnamon rolls on the beach, and I’m thinking about you cooking a big turkey with banana leaves today. Are you a bread-baker? I bet those rolls were homemade weren’t they? Pancakes for 25 neighbors? You are amazing. But we knew that. 🙂 Love ya!
