Fall Party

Well, here's the fall party post. Endelig... ikke sant Teresa? I do try to keep my promises... Hehe, Enjoy!




Big Chief did not sit on the fire and put it out... Just danced and made smoke.

This cowboy was trying all day to shoot me every time I tried to take a picture.

The theme this year if you can't tell by the pics was Cowboys and Indians. Many of the friends dressed up for the occasion and all the decorations made it very festive. The day started with the annual hay ride. (I think this was the first time I remember EVER going a different direction that than just around the block. Outside there were different themed Indian or Cowboy activities or stations. In the cowboy camp you could enjoy music, hot drinks, and various uh, edibles around the fire or just singing along with the guitar. The "spitt'n contest" had participants of all ages. It was for accuracy as well as distance. The furthest I believe was 24 feet! Horse/pony rides, learning how to use a lasso, and target shooting with a BB gun were the other cowboy activities.

You could hear the Indian camp from almost anywhere outside when they were dancing. Was some of the funniest stuff I saw all day. They did a stick dance of some sorts, and this was also a cool activity that all ages got involved with. There was also Tee Pee painting and bow and arrow target shooting.

There were some activities in the gym including everybody learning how to line dance with Kris & Ang. Hehe, I think I have two left feet... The "grub" was fantastic, and it was a really, really fun filled day with lots of good laughs, friends, and fellowship. I've put a link on the side for pictures from the day. Happy Trails!

Happy New Years!

Merry Christmas! Happy New Years an everything else that goes with it. I have now gotten my computer back and a spare minute to update. I decided not to do any posts of Christmas as Teresa did a very nice job of doing that while she was here an i am already so far behind it isn't funny. So, this is just a quick post to say "I'm back" an hopefully you will enjoy the upcoming posts. Still promising fall party pics. Those were great! Will do one of New Years with Activity Club and hopefully one of my basement soon. It's got a few more things in it. : ) Thanks for the paper in my cupboards Teresa! Well til next time.... Here's a few pics.



Loockerman Street in down town Dover. The best place at Christmas time!



My first Christmas tree. It is small and sparse, but i like it. (note the napkin tree skirt...)


Had to rival Teresa's pic of Connor. : )

I had the little girls over for a sleep over.


Kris & I made party mix! Yum!
