Catching Up

Christmas was done and packing was done so we decided to take a walk around Huck Finn Pond. It is quite humorous to go for a walk with two bassets and a beagle–especially in the snow!
Wyoming Christmas & Sledding
Kim, Joe and the kids came up from Colorado to visit us. I had asked Joe if he thought the kids might want to go sledding and he said yes. I don’t think he realized what a “real” sledding hill looked like!
