Crow Canyon

We drove over to Crow Canyon today. Really nice Navajo petroglyph panels at the end of a moderate hike.

A good day

We started the day chasing the train up the pass through the snow. It was opening day and there was a big crowd to see off the first train of the season. When we got to the top of the pass there was about 3ft. of fresh snow on the tracks so we weren't sure if the train would make it up and over to the other side.










From train chasing we headed south to Plaza Blanca to take Nana & Grampy to do some exploring. Mom stayed home and painted the bathroom floor. We had a nice adventure and got back home at 10pm. A good day......

Quinn's Visit (pix)

Quinn came over for the weekend and we set off on an adventure this morning. We spent most of the day "Turkey Hunting" as the season ends tomorrow and I still don't have a bird. We did a lot of other things and never even saw any birds until the end of the day. I spotted 4 at about a 1/2 mile away and shortly afterward Quinn saw 4 more that were all hens. No bird for the table, but we had a lot of fun.

Our darling daughter

It had been a long day for everyone so we sent the kids to bed a little early. Arden wouldn't settle down so mom told her she could read books on the bean bag for a while. It got quiet upstairs after a bit so I went up to investigate......

"On" the bean bag, "in" the bean bag, what's the difference?
