A Rare Sighting

We had quite the unusual ski trip a couple weeks back. We arrived late in the afternoon to find the lake very crowded. The water was rough, to say the least. And, so we decided to kick back and drive back to the dam first.
The little boys were their usual, silly selves.


Sierra, still having tender earlobes from piercing them last March, caught her earring on her life jacket and made quite the bloody mess. Here's the kind of cleaned up lobe. She didn't want to get in the water after that though. Luckily, when we got home and cleaned up her earlobe better, there wasn't a major tear. It had me worried for a while though with all the blood that came out. Poor Sierra. I think she was ready to take her earrings out and to let the holes close up!

Poor Lance. He has a dad that likes to throw him in the freezing cold water up by the dam. And, I mean, FREEZING. Lance was a good sport about it though. Does he look bluish?



By the time we came back out to the main part of the lake, it was getting dark and cool. No one wanted to get in the water then. So, we had our first ski trip where NO ONE skiied. But, what made it all worthwhile was our rare sighting.




Let me zoom in some.....how often does one get to see a bald eagle?! We were excited!






So, it was a good night at the lake afterall.
