HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

 We celebrated Thanksgiving a day early this year and started our day out enjoying the big snowfall we got the day before!

 We found a great sledding hill in our neighborhood which was a blast!

 You realize the amount of kids you have when you have to find gloves, hats, boots, snow pants, long underwear, and the list goes on and on. 

 I was shocked that August let us put on his gear since he is a bit dramatic with anything other than sweats!  He wanted to be held:)

 Sawyer taking August down and Canyon cheering them on:)

 Way too much fun!

 After a cold morning of sledding we came in and had some hot cocoa!

 It was a great morning and then I had to start cooking our Turkey dinner:)

 I enjoyed the warmth of our house and made a nice healthy meal for my family!

My turkey even turned out:)  Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!  I hope you are enjoying the day with your family, friends and loved ones! 

Metolius Fish Hatchery

 It's no secret we LOVE this place.  If you follow our blog at all, this place comes up often.  Knowing our time here in Central Oregon is coming to an end, we wanted to visit it one last time.

 Many tears were shed here today...grown up ones.  Happy tears filled with beautiful memories and heavy hearts knowing a big change is coming our way.

 Enjoy the pics.  It was a cold but a beautiful day here.

 The clear water and gorgeous fish are fun to view.

 Fish food and zip-lock bags...a must if you come here...and quarters! 

 Filling up our bags.

 So happy to feed the fish.

 This little area has massive size rainbow trout.

 If you are a child...heck even an adult...this is pretty amazing:)

 How they respond to my constant attempts at getting their picture:)

 Sawyer is always my model.

 If I can catch him fast enough, I can capture this beautiful smile.

 And this guy, his heart is captured in his pics. 

Many years, many memories.
