It hasn’t stuck but our first snow was officially October 21, 2010!  And I’ve heard it doesn’t stop til May!  What have we gotten ourselves into?

2 weeks ago when it wasn’t SNNNNOOOOWing, we took a little high up avalanche mountain.

Hiking around up top. They have disc golf, mountain biking trails, etc.  021 022 

Our town also had a scare crow contest and my 9th grade class created a Ginger Bread Scarecrow!

2 of my 9th graders trying out the costumes!

We had a Cross built to hold up the scarecrow. My Jacob thought it was a large sword for slaying!

Out on the corner of Main and Lake St.

They even created a ginger bread  man house.

There were over 33 scarecrows around town.

  2. I love your post! Regarding the snow thing, I think you traded for a very beautiful place in northern MI. Look at that view from the mountain. And, it is practically in your back yard. Think back of the views you had at your place in DR, no, no, no comparison. You certainly are getting God's blessings and I hope you are thankful every single day. You two are so fortunate! Everything is falling into place, but not by accident. You are following the Lord and he is blessing you!
    I love you guys!

  3. The scarecrow is great! What a fun project. I'm thinking I should make one for my front porch! Maybe I will just let dad sit out there with some straw stuck in his sweatshirt, tucked in his pants! HA!!!!!! I can picture it now!

    thanks for all the pics, what a clever idea to do a gingerbread scarecrow. good thinking!
