HOLIDAY FUN

Our friends, John Michael and Stacey, came for a visit from NC. They arrived on the boat the day after Christmas. We had tons of fun spending time with them and playing in the snow...hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed their company!

Our friends made it safely to Stehekin on December 26, Friday.
There luggage didn't arrive until Sunday :-/Several afternoons were spent at the schoolyard with sleds and cameras.
We all piled into the back of Bethany's rig for this ride up the road. Getting the sledding hill ready! The path needed to be
packed down so everyone hiked up the hill in the snow
and began to make way for the sleds.

Stacey made it down the hill! Not sure what happened to John Michael?Walking across the field at the ranch on the way to Mark and Monica's house.
The afternoon was spent there with plenty of time for knitting
and playing guitars. Thanks for the great meal Monica!

Icicles formed along the side of our house. John Michael and Steven decided to brake them off one evening and stick them in the snow along our front walkway. One icicle even remained on the top of our truck until the recent rain set in and we needed to get all the snow off the top before it turned into a solid block.
Skiing to Rainbow Falls and Buckner Orchard was favorite activity as well...
