Waterfall Day

We hiked 4 trails and saw 5 waterfalls. Or more precisely four and a half waterfalls. We didn't make it all the way to Virginia Falls. We only saw the lower portion. We started at Running Eagle Falls (last pic). Then we hit Appistoki Falls, and took a break to toss some rocks into the lake at Two Medicine campground.

After lunch we headed up to the St. Mary area where we saw Baring Falls, and finally the 2 falls in 1 hike - St. Mary Falls (the pic with Matt in it) and the lower portion of Viginia Falls (part of which is immediately below).

Portrait of Alondra

It's been a while since my youngest daughter has appeared here. I was in a portrait sort of mood this morning, as was Alondra apparently.

Thursday morning she decided to spice things up and put a good scare into Mom and the preschool staff. She suddenly spiked a fever, then as Deanna was getting her coat on to head home, began to choke. An ambulance ride and an hour or 2 later, the theory is that the fever caused a bit of an upset stomach. Some spit up down the wrong pipe is what likely caused the big scare.

Alondra's airway history combined with the sudden fever led the ER doc to admit her for the night. I spent the afternoon with her sweating in her sleep, waking long enough for a few pages of a book and a sip or 2 of juice.

Deanna took over for the night shift. As soon as I left, Alondra decided she was all done being sick. The fever broke and she was ready for playtime. Late that evening she had worn out her welcome and I got the call to pick my girls up.


Alondra did get Bear out of the deal. He's her new best friend. From how she's been running around the house since, you would never guess she was sick on Thursday.

Light Graffiti

Saw some cool light graffiti shots on a blog last week. So the kids and I gave it a shot.

Another Cloudy November Day

This cloudy November day put me in the mood to seek out some sunshine. Here's some early morning sun from a not so long ago trek to the mountain bike trail.

Do I have Photo Editing Software?

Is that what you meant about bringing out the color Ranger Paul?
