Lena & Kyle and their two girls (Lila & Lainey) came out to the orchard to go sledding on Saturday. Except for that small matter of the snow melting earlier in the week. No matter. We had a good time drinking coffee and reading the stack of books that Gus doesn’t yet appreciate.
And then we went for a walk on the old highway which just felt good -like we had really accomplished something.
Except for Gus, who slept the entire way.
Here we have the cover for Outside Magazine family edition…
…and an advertisement perhaps for one of the many benefits of the great outdoors -again, the family edition.
What fun.
I especially like the shot of Kyle’s back.
That is a great photo. The artistic ability to capture the great trees all the way down to the flimsiest of twigs is impressive.
We had such a great time – a little country respite! And I can assure your readers that Charles is (mostly) as nimble and witty as he was the last time we saw him – when he was still young…
And for my cousin Jake – I have a few good responses for your above comment but will refrain because some day future Gus will be reading this blog chronicle of his childhood and I don’t want him to blush at the off color humor of his Mom’s wierd cousins…
I have no doubt he’ll know soon enough
Are you saying there is a redwood in that photo?
I just think it’s nice that you had some blue sky. I can see it PEEking through the trees…
Please don’t get me started.
