September Finale.

Most people long for the chance to roast a marshmallow and sit around the campfire. Snurpy on the other hand would just rather sit IN the campfire! Today we laid a little low and didn't have any real hiking plans so we just laid a blanket out hillside at Harriman's Silvermine Lake. Snurpy and I trekked up the nearby abandoned ski slope where she discovered this fire ring just perfect for sitting in. H stayed down below soaking up some sunshine and tried to powernap. That was quickly interupted by the S.F.R's who screamed as they push-pulled each other into the lake and then the 400 participant charity Harley Ride. Both events we could here just as loudly from the mountain top.

Play Ball!

Snurpee just loves herself a puppy! and all doggies for that matter! Today we took a trip out to Stillwater feild to see cousin M's Ball game. We watch below attently when my nephew was up to bat. consequently he got beaned in the side with this pitch and got to take his base. Sorry Snurpy - not going to see cuz hit a homer today! He did however steal second base but didnt make third as the third out was made before he got there. Next shift in the outfield little M made a great play fielding a deep outfeild drive and threw the ball to second base for a forced out and the 2nd base-gal capped off the double play by getting the ball to the first basemen. Great Job Stillwater team!!

Fall Season Begins

The Girls enjoy some sunshine atop Tom Jones Mountain. September officially begins the fall hiking season where we go from all green to all clean as we'll be sure to get outside each weekend from here through November when the trees will be bare.
