In 2011, Pam, myself, Michelle, along with Jeff, Vall, Sarah, Josh, Ben, & Zach went to Disneyland.  Disneyland is a place that we go semi often.  We always go during the off season.  We have some traditions.  One is that we visit the McDonalds in Downey.  It  still the same style as in the 50's.  Our kids eat there and remember Oma.

 Disneyland is always a fun place to go.  We usually go during off season.  Lines a no more than half of the peak season.

 Anderson Island--Geocaching. 
A few years ago some members of the family did a lot of geocaching.  We made a competition of it on a Saturday on Anderson Island.  We made each family a team.  We all had our own color of T-shirts.  Jeff & Val's family won by the hair of their chinny-chin- chin!

Camping

 A couple of years ago Jeff, Val along with their boys & the Sirrines went camping.  We were near the town of Packwood.  Packwood has a huge flea market twice a year.  We were there3 for one of them.  We checked out the flea market.  Our dogs came with us.  We had moved to an area that can accommodate our size of family.  We found a grassy area & practically had it to our selves.  We ate gourmet meals there.

Whistler 2013

 Recently Karen, Bob, Jackie, Tarrance with kids, Pam & myself went to Whistler.  Pam, Karen & Tarrance had sales meeting there & the spouses/kids were able to come along.  The Lutzs& the Sirrines rented a All-wheel drive SUV.  The Jackie & Terrence brought their van.  We stayed at the Fairmont.  The Sirrines were in room 663.  While Pam, Karen & Terrence went to meetings, dinners at night , the rest of us played. 

 The 1st mourning we decided McDonald's wasn't were we wanted to eat for breakfast so, we drove off to find a place.  We found one, in Squamish.  It was a mom & pop place, a hole in the wall, but it was really good.  It probably one of the best while we were up there.  Big Daddy J's.  Above the kids are having fun.

 Here Bob & I went to drive snow mobiles!  What a blast!  We went on the main trails, small trails & everything in between.  They were Artic Kat 2000's.  I would be the slowest one, 40 Km"s.  I felt I would find it hard to explain everything but he would enjoy this.

 We also went to eat at a BBQ place recommended by Jackie's friends.  It was a lot of food.  Great surroundings!!

We went to Peak-Peak.  We took a lift to 6,015, got on another on, suspended over the BIG VALLEY.  You could see we were above the clouds, so you feel like getting on the skis right through the clouds.  We finally had time Thursday afternoon to spend it with our family.  It was a very fun trip!!!!
