The first hike of the season: Icicle Ridge Day Hike... w/Naomi!

These dandilions were tempting to pick!

Here we are on top. : )

Aren't the mountians great?!

Wearing my new longyi (say it: lon-jee)

And what in the world am I holding?? Tamarindo fruit, of course!

When I got back from Asia and began to traverse the produce section of the grocery store, I had to do a double take when I saw the tamarindo fruit. The kids at Garden Home look for the tamarindo fruti that falls from the trees and eat it. One of the little girls shared one with me. So, I had to get some for the memories! : ) Next time you get the chance, buy some and pray for the kids while you eat it.

Mandy was trying to get my attention by putting a napkin on my head... So, there it sat as a hat. Naturally, she wasn't about to sit there and let me where a hat on my own! : )

This only shows part of the Pizza & party that showed up!

Enoying the food.

Dessert pizza... at least, that was what it was being called when it started.

The whole of the group.... almost. Steve is taking the picture.

It was a great night! The fun of hanging out with friends was such a blessings!

Snowshoeing up Blewet

There were five of us that set out snowshoeing yesterday. It was sunny and cold, a most beautiful day to be out!

Jared, Dima, and the Initiation Hat

Here's most of our fun group.

Climbing the mountain

Whenever I'm in front I forget to wait for the back people! Bad me!

On the top!!

Well... almost the top.

Although that was as far as we went, it was a gorgeous day and we all had a great time. The only bad thing, is that it had to end! But there is still hope for a next time. I can't wait!
