New York!!

Just a quick pic of New York!! I actually don't have all my pics on hand, but I will get them here soon...well, just a few choice pics. We went to see Carmen's family in February, and she and the kids took us up to Manhatten for a few days, which was great!! This, if you look close, is the ice skating rink in Rockefeller Center...we walked all over Times Square, Central Park, and then up to Rockefeller Center to have a coffee at Dean & Deluca (I have always wanted to go there!) We then saw the NBC studios and other miscellaneous things...we did have a wonderful time!! After NYC we spent a little over a week with the Hall's...hopefully we didn't wear out our welcome!! We had a terrific time!! A wonderful vacation!!

Just a quick pic of us from Wyoming...

California...Again

It's hard to believe we are on the road again...and in California again. I wouldn't mind making this a yearly spring trip...it sure is nice to be sitting in the sun on a warm March morning... it should be around 80 this week...hmm...I believe it may be snowing at home...if not worse.

As soon as I can I will be posting some pics from the past few months and also of us here in Ridgecrest. Tyler started work yesterday and it seems to be what he expected...his friend and fellow weldor, Josh is working with him in Trona, about 45 minutes from where we are staying. The trailer park is quite a ways out of town, about 6 miles or so. But it's pleasant enough, so far. We spent Sunday with Tim and Nancy Taylor, who lived in Blackfoot when Tyler was quite young...it'll be nice to get to know them.

Avery did very well on the trip down here. She was very patient and rarely screamed and cried in objection to her seat. Sunny also did well. He prefers to be outdoors on his chain and so at the moment Avery and I keeping him company in the luxury of the shade.

Home at last...

Well, Avery and I leave Thursday (tomorrow) to head back home. Though we are sorry to leave Tyler we are very excited to be going back to Pocatello. The good news is that Tyler will be heading West also hopefully next Wednesday, to be home in time for the holidays. The bad news is that it does look like they will be asking him to come back for a few more weeks. Which is good and bad news in itself. However, he will be bringing the trailer home and if and when he comes back for the last bit, he will just stay in a hotel. That is all for now!!

Working at the Railroad!!

Tyler had the afternoon off this week and so we headed over to the Douglas Information Center and Railroad Museum. It was neat to see all the rail cars, from the dining car to the Caboose. There was also a Great American Jackalope...well there should have been, seeing as this is the "Home of The Jackalope." It is the pride of the county, all the Jackalope around here!! Everwhere you turn, there they are!!! Avery really enjoys to pet the stuffed Jackalope at the KOA office...everytime we go in there, she is enthralled at the soft fur and the antlers on his head!!!

Notice, too, Avery's favorite outfit. Ever since Halloween, she finds her Cinderella Dress and wants to wear it!! It's this week's "must have!!"

Papparazzi!!!

Caught on Camera!!! Avery thinks she's pretty special in her hat and sunglasses!! Last night Tyler popped some Sunday Popcorn, and Avery just had to show off her stuff to distract him while she swiped his prized popcorn!!

We got these sunglasses and now she wants to wear them at all times. The hat still has the mittens attatched to the top of them, as I am trying to decide if it really fits her, but she loves to wear it all around the house as well. Pretty cute, if I do say so myself!!!

Casper Mountain

Last weekend we went up behind Casper to Casper Mountain. From afar, it just looks like a ridge that runs east and west, nothing real excting. But as we drew closer, we could see that to get to the top, we had to climb up a road that had a drop off, a sheer cliff we had to climb. It was very interesting. On the top, we found the ski lodge, Hogodon, and then some good nature trails that are also cross country ski trails. They are lit at night with street lights. The pics are from our "hike."
