Last night we had a great time playing dominoes. We learned a new game from Rose called Chicken Feet. Every time a question came up, she would tell us what the "Old Lady Rules" were. I knew I was in trouble when Kathy only had one domino left and my hand looked like this. Good thing we didn't keep a running score....just figured out who won and lost each hand. I think I would have been the big time loser...but we had a lot of laughs and good times. Rose is amazing. I wish I was as sharp as she is and she has me beat in age by 36 years!!

It didn't take long for the roads to get pretty bad but the scenery kept getting better and better.
Looking through the side window at the trees was a treat.
A friendly moose welcomed us as the visitor's center.
Starting up the Taggart Lake trail you pass over a bridge. You can hear the stream under the snow, but can't see much water. The "Grand" encourages you to keep trudging on.
Once you get over the ridge, the view is amazing. I doubt if there could be another snowshoe trail any more amazing than this one is. Sorry about the deep blue sky. I had my polarizer dialed in a bit strong.
You have to stop often to admire the scenery.
Taking a little break at the destination is always nice.... Hard to believe there is a lake under there.
Once we were finished we got to enjoy a beautiful sunset. I've never seen such golden highlights on the mountains.

Jaycie was having fun throwing the eggs after they were finished!!
That night we got to see Harlee perform in her dance recital. She was so focused on watching her teacher and doing everything just right!!
After Easter Dinner on Sunday, all the kids played baseball. It was so heavenly sitting outside and enjoying the beautiful weather and the family!!
What a great weekend.

It's a gloomy, drizzly day. It's one of those depressing kind of days. But, as I was driving to work today I kept thinking how grateful I am for a normal, quiet kind of day. I bet that there are millions of people in Japan who would love to have a normal day. I don't think I will be complaining about the weather anytime soon.
