We went for a hike today. It was sunny, but very cold. We decided to go east into an area known as Opal Creek. We had to drive about 14 miles off the main road to find the trail head, but it wasn't too tough a drive. There was snow on the ground at the higher elevation, but not much. Just enough to wet the trail and make things stick to you. It wasn't a long hike, just about a mile in and a mile out, but we had little kids with us, so it seemed wise to keep it easy. the payoff for the uphill hike was a beautiful waterfall. Oh...and the fact that the second half of the hike was downhill.
Ben decided he has a new name for me. He told me yesterday, "Gramma - you're a gramma and a cracker 'cause your white, so I'm gonna call you GramCracker."
Yikes. Out of the mouths of babes...
Ryann got a 'Bop - it" game for Christmas so we had a Bop-it tournament this evening. The Bop-it is a device with a couple different places on it to pull, twist, bop or talk into. The device has a beat and in rhythm it will tell you which thing to do - twist the knob, pull another knob, bop the button or speak into the microphone. If you put it on a group setting it will also tell you when to pass it. The beat continues as it tells the person which part to do in totally random patterns. If you don't do it on time, or do the wrong thing, it berates you and tells you you are out. Great fun, and anyone can do it. Uh...almost anyone. But enough about that.
Its late and time to try and sleep. As always, I hope the very best for everyone.
