Bardee's Bar 11-21

LPZ & Dr. Adventure on the Bardee's Bar section of the Feather River.

Last week Lance, Amanda, and Cirrus were back in Chico for a pre-Thanksgiving visit. It was great to visit with them; they are much missed. We kayaked (LPZ talked me through some jitters), had a group dinner, and cruised through the Chico Christmas Preview. We are looking forward to their next visit.

November visit to Eureka

The weekend of November 7/8 I travelled up to Eureka for a visit with Scott, Jamie, and the girls. Scott made special pumpkin pancakes for breakfast, pictured below. Can you guess which one was mine?

The weather was perfect for taking walks and playing outside.

Michaela is now calling me Auntie, I hope Squizzle will be doing so by Thanksgiving.

Halloween with the Fischers

Army Man, Spider, Elegant Witch


Amanda's pumpkin

We travelled down to Dr. Adventure's old stomping ground to spend Halloween with Mike, Amanda, Kurt, and Karl. We, all, played with RC cars, launched missiles, and rode bikes. Katya made up stories about vampires and mummies for Kurt. Amanda forgot to turn the clock back and went out for her morning run at 4am:) Amanda, Ross and the kids carved pumpkins, which glowed spookily on the front porch after dark. Mike and Ross escorted Kurt and Katya around the neighborhood; each returning home with substantial bags of loot. Everyone ate too much candy and the kids entertained us with jokes from laffy taffy wrappers (Kurt made up many of his own). It was another great weekend!
