The 6-week cross-country car trip
We shared the Sweitzers' cabin for a weekend trip to the snow
at Big Bear. Jenny helped clear the driveway.
Glen tries the tubing run.
Sarah and Jenny double up.
Indoor activities included Tripoly ...
(Keith, Lisa, Sarah, Glen holding Jenny, David, Jason, and Kurt)
and popcorn.
This little observatory made a good focal point for
pictures of the lake.
Happy Birthday, Jenny!
She got a bike this year. Kate, Kurt and Sarah are
watching her try it out.
Portrait time in the front yard.
The plum tree generally produces well for us.
