Snow Saturday 11-16-13

Well our first big snow day came last Saturday. We woke up to around 4-5 inches.

  

I break out the snow shovel early before the girls get up.. First time ever shoveling snow.. Its not as fun as it looks..

Immediately when Allie Rai wakes up she races to get ready and dives in..

Fun day.. Wish I had more pictures but Dawn took a lot and they are all still on her phone. Here are a few more I took of that day..

What's this white stuff??

Well, Sunday night we had a light snow fall. Fist time the girls had ever seen it before. Of course we have to venture out in the front yard at night in 25 deg weather so we can take pictures..

This morning we woke up to our first white morning.
I have now been officially pelted by a Allie Rai's first snow ball.

More pictures from this morning...

Fished South Fork Idaho

I got out and finally did some fishing this weekend for the first time up here. A couple local guys took me with them to the famous South Fork. Lots and lots of folks travel from all over to fly fish this river so I was very excited to finally see what they were talking about. And let me tell you, the fishing here is NO JOKE!! Catching fish just about every other cast.. It's a lot different style of fishing verses the fly fishing in the Flats like Dad and I do. But still a lot of fun!! I was like a kid in a candy store. Every fish in the river was something I had never seen in person or caught before. That was an awesome feeling fishing for something I had never seen before except on TV. We caught multiple Browns, Rainbows & Cut Throats.. Looking forward to going back again soon.

Dawn's Homecoming.. (Photo Intense)

Yesterday was the big day. And what a day it was. We had an assembly at school at 11:00am. This is where they announced to the students the winners for homecoming court. Minus the friends that Dawn couldn't keep a secret with this was the where the rest of the students learned the results of the school votes. They announced the freshman winners first. As the freshman were announced there was some cheering and clapping. Then they announced the sophomores. When they announced Dawn I really didn't know what to expect. She has only been attending this school now for 5 weeks. I expected some to cheer (friends mainly) and was hopeful the school would except her as winning a good thing and cheer for her. To our surprise when they announced Dawn's name the entire gym erupted in cheers, applause, all the varsity cheer leaders sitting in front of Mandy and I jumped yelling.. It was quite a sight to see. This Georgia girl who had only been in the state for 5 mths, and in school for 5 weeks to make this kind of an impression.. It was freaking AWESOME!!! After the assembly Mandy and I rushed Dawn to the start of the parade. Students and teachers all swarmed Dawn to get hugs and pictures made with her. Dawn rode in the back of a 1966 Mustang convertible for the parade along with the other sophomore guy that won homecoming court. She had a blast. Later that day we headed over to the ball game and waited for half time. 13 Cives folks including wife's and kids all showed up at the game to support Dawn. Long story short it was a fun and awesome time. For us and for Dawn.. Pictures below.. (Click on them to enlarge and scroll through)
