Snow vacation

The Kenney's invited us and Kathy to their ranch home for a couple of days near Mt. Shasta in northern California. Jonathan and his wife Whitney are shown half-way down in the pictures. We rode ATV's to a ridge so that we could see Mt. Shasta. Steve had never drove a ATV before. We also went skeet shooting with Jonathan.  Whitney and Kathy made Elk tamales with meat which Jonathan shot near Laketown last year.

Hunter liked pulling his train on the sled. All of the children really had fun playing in the snow outside the home. Hunter and Gwen wanted to bring their beach shovels to dig in the snow. On the way home we stopped at old town Sacramento and saw a pony express rider statue and the Christmas tree at the state capital.

Pumpkin Patch Outing at Irvine Park

The Irvine ranch used to cover about 1/3 of orange county. We visited Irvine Park which was donated about 100 years ago to the county. In October, they have a Pumpkin/Halloween celebration and we went to see it. The decorations and pumpkins were very colorful and we had fun riding the train and visiting the zoo. Hunter and Gwen's hair is very close to the color of pumpkins. Hunter is 3 1/2 feet tall and Gwen is almost 3 feet tall.  Hunter had his first date on a John Deere quad. Hunter shows how small he is compared to the wing span of a bald eagle.
