Don't get too excited. I'm only using this to publish photos I think family would enjoy on my own time. Who knows when I'll update next.

Ice Racing

Our big to-do this weekend...Ice Racing in Georgetown. Land Rover Flatirons hosts the event and there are several races going on simultaneously on the lake. There are rescue teams on-site just in case anyone breaks thru the ice but they take huge measures to make sure the ice is thick enough for vehicles to drive, I mean slide on. These are regular tires, no studs. The ice cracks and pops and freaks you out but it's not going anywhere. But you are once you put your warmed shoes on the ice. They slip out from under you immediately. Better to just stay in the car especially with the 55mph wind kicking up all the snow and ice chips. Sorry no picks specifically fo us.

Starting line.


Graham and Connie in Toki. It's hard to convery in photos but they're making a turn on the course as the wheels indicate but are sliding rapidly to the left. You kinda make the turn and wait for your rear-end to catch up.


And Graham and Connie again on the snowy, blustery Georgetown Lake.

Park-ing

We had lunch at the park on a warm sunny day in December while Don and Judy were visiting. Their last day here I think. Anyway, we strolled and took photos of all the wintering geese. Nathan took some portaits.

You can't tell but there's a weirdo way in back of us screaming at the top of his lungs and spinning in circles. He was pretty funny to watch. His form of excercise I guess.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve at Grandma Hindman's. Photos mainly for Dustin's benefit because I know Nathan didn't get them out.

Hockey bag.

And one I call chaos :)
