Small Town America.......Veteran's Day Parade

We braved the cold this morning to watch the Veteran's Day Parade. From where we were sitting, it didn't look like a good turn out. But I could be wrong. My kids had a great time. There was alot of candy tossed by the kids organizations. My girl scout troop didn't march this year, I thought we were going to be out town.

Winter is almost here........

November is here and I am waiting for the snow! Last year there was very little snow, so now its time for the other shoe to drop! I love having the snow for a few days, but it gets old fast! My kids were asking when I thought it would snow again. I replied, Hopfully not for awhile. For those of you dying for the snow, enjoy these photos from last year.

Burney Falls

A few weeks we took the kids to Burney Falls. They LOVE the waterfall park! Best of all, the camp store was still open.......so that means ice cream!!! Who wouldn't love to visit the waterfalls and eat ice cream??!! I love visiting in the fall: its not crowded, its not HOT, Lake Britton is calm, and the scenery is amazing. My daughter was able to read many of the signs by herself, so that was pretty cool to see. She is such a big girl now!

My Niece

I took these photos of my niece, McKenzie, in May. She just turned one year this month. Time flies, now she is walking and telling Memaw NO, lol.

Its been a few weeks since my last post

It has been a few weeks since my last post. Thanks to my friends who emailed me to ask why I haven't been posting photos. And yes, it did snow. There was a light dusting in Susanville, but snow in September & October!!! AGH!

This photo is from mid-September of the Peter Lassen Monument.

Snow.....tonight??!!!

Last weeks dusting of snow was odd. Its not even Halloween yet! We must be in for a long winter. Tonights forecast is for snow to drop to the valley floor. But, the weather forecasts here are famous for being wrong. So I bet we will get snow on Saturday, lol. That is usually how it works out around here. Stay warm Lassen County!

My kids are easily entertained..........

This weekend we stopped at the park in Clear Creek, Lassen County. The duck pond had quite a few ducks. These two ducks followed us around looking for food. Every time the ducks went underwater to eat, my kids yelled 'Duck Butt!' When both ducks went under at the same time, the kids yelled 'Double Duck Butts!'. It was cute. I know the older they get, the less interested they will become, so I am enjoying these years.
