Sledding with the Ladies

VIDEO #399

No matter who you are and what ever your age, sledding is one of those activities that is hard to do without laughing out loud. Family and friends headed to what I call "Chaos Mountain" up in Government Camp for a little snow play. I did not capture much footage from the day because it was that much fun, very little time for filming. By the end of our time at Chaos Mountain, all left with perma-grins and many have the bruises to prove it. Viva, El Caos Montana!

A Pile of Fall Fun

VIDEO #225
Songs - "Four Seasons - Autumn" by Vivaldi and "Falling Idols" by Sublime
As a kid, I remember some good times playing in huge piles of leaves and thought, why not bring back the fun? Of course, the memories I have of said pile of leaves were crisp and fluffy as today's were very heavy of mud during a cool, afternoon rain. The excitement was still found however, not in the perfect leaf pile, but in the situation with good company.

A day out at Kruger's Farm Market on Sauvie Island is far from a dull moment. Head on out and get a pumpkin, maybe an ear of corn, carmel apple, hop on a pony, take the hay ride tour and meet Farmer Don and his wife. For more information, here is their website:

Maryhill Wine Tasting

VIDEO #191

Song - "Red, Red Wine" by Neil Diamond

Wine tasting in Oregon and Washington is a huge perk living in the Pacific Northwest. Maryhill is right over the Columbia River from Oregon in Goldendale, WA. They are a higher volume producer than most wineries around the area and have recently added a concert venue to their estate. Now, if you were to drive down the way and drop in to another tasting room, it might not be so elaborate. For example, one of my favorite wineries, Paradisos del Sol in Zillah, WA, is a tiny house you pull up to and meet the owner/winemaker who pours his wine for you. I looked into it and their distribution is pretty minimal but they do ship to Washington, Minnesota and Alaska.... kind of random, huh? All the other 47 states have to make the drive.

We Are Family

Song - "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge

It was a great trip to Minnesota and what a great way to wrap it all up with a family BBQ at Grandmas house? It was quite the day and I'm still smiling from all the good times. Thank you all for being such a loving family. Next BBQ at Katana and Dan's!
