Eagle Ridge (aka Collin time!)

After Christmas, we all headed to Eagle Ridge on Deer Lake with my family:mom, kristin & cooper, Pam & Dick, Kate & Tim and doggie Libby, Katie & Smokey and doggie Riva, and Jeremy, Jodi and Collin.  This has become a tradition of ours since the new place was built.  But, this presented a first for us: no snow!  That presented a few challenges.  Luckily, the kids had Collin to entertain and brought up some of their new toys. 
Here are the kids watching early morning TV in grandma's "clubhouse"

Coloring the big mater they got from Kiki and playing in the new fort, up in the loft

Showing Collin the ropes of the piano (this was passed on to grandma Pam's collection and was a hit for the 9 month old!)

I was lucky enough to go on a hike at Interstate with Pam, Jodi, Jeremy, Katie and Collin.  It was fun to see the scenary in the winter and be able to do it since there was no snow or ice.  It was a bit windy, but still very enjoyable!

Anna loved talking to Collin while he was eating.  He loved her glasses!
