Sacramento River Headwaters

This weekend we visited the city park in Mt. Shasta. The Sacramento River Headwaters are located in the park. Some state and city officials disagree whether the headwaters is the official start of the Sacramento River. Either way, its a great park to visit. The water is FULL of leeches. They were everywhere on the rocks. Yuck.

Looking at Christmas Lights

Tonight we bundled up the kids and took them out to look at the Christmas light displays in town. We had to make hot chocolate for the kids and get a blanket for the dog, but we finally made it out the door. There are some wonderful Christmas light displays in Susanville. We didn't make it out to the big display on Richmond Road. Hopefully we will see it later this week. That is the best display for miles, maybe 100 miles. If you haven't gotten out yet, get out there. Its been freezing cold, but well worth it. I hope to take more photos later this week.

Enjoy December!!!

Who doesn't just love sports ornaments on their tree?? Luckily these look GREAT on the backside of the tree, lol.

Christmas is just around the corner...........and there is so much left to do. I am ahead of the game so far. I think everything is bought and just about wrapped. The only thing left on my list is some baking. I hope you all pace yourselves so there is no last minute craziness!

An afternoon on the Bizz

Last week we spent an afternoon walking on the Bizz Johnson Trail.

The river is starting to ice over along the shady parts of the water. My kids thought it was cool, until my son fell in. LOL Its a great time of year to get out and walk on the trail, so get out there!!! The entrance to Hobo Camp has been closed for the season. The Miller Road trailhead has parking.

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.
