A new hiking place

Sharon came at 9:45 this morning and we went on 7th street south by the Pointe Resort for a hike in the small mountain beside the resort. It was a fairly steep climb to the top and on our way down it started to rain. :-( I felt pretty cold by the time we made it back to her car but it was still fun anyway. Along the route we saw some hikers had definitely been in the X-mas spirit and decorated a cactus and tree along the way. That put me in the Christmas spirit finally. :-)

After the hike we stopped by to get Mark and we went for lunch at Costco. Big slice of pizza for Sharon and me and a hotdog for him. Cheap lunch and good to boot! Only three more days until Christmas...........only 39 more days until baby. :-)

Babysitting is tough work......

Especially when it is for two very active pups! Megan and Andy's friends Ann and Damien dropped off their little white fuzzy Bailey while they fly home to Iowa for the holidays. Since Megan and Andy are both at work we are babysitting the dogs today. I actually thought Sox was going to kill little Bailey, but was assured it was all in good fun. ???????? Oh well they have been together six hours now and they are both still breathing. Whew! They are both quiet for the moment so Mark is trying to take a quick afternoon snooze before WWF round two kicks in with the dogs.......
