Winter in Weiser

Poor Dylan had a snow day the first day of December. He looks like he is really in pain here doesn't he?
There is a hill at the football field and Dylan had a ton of fun. So did I, taking photos of him and a lot of kids sledding down the hill.




There was one Dad that piled up some snow so there was a ramp. I almost wet my pants on some of the kids going over it.








I love the look on this kids' face as he goes over it and leaves his stomach behind him.





And some of you may know that it is wrestling season again and D'Kota has lost a little weight and is no longer wrestling kids that are not only two classes ahead of him but about 20 lbs heavier. Look at the guns on him! You can also see what his weight is. Only wrestlers proudly display their weight on their arms.






Now I want you to notice the boy in the back to the left with the Mohawk. D'Kota will wrestle him next and he is watching to see where D'Kota's weakness is.














He discovers his only defense is to knee him in the eye.











Which he does. A nasty black eye, blurry vision, and a couple of X-rays later, we discover that the boy has not broken his face. Only bruised it real good. He tells me his face hurts and because I know he is not in the mood to joke with me, I control myself from saying "it's hurts me too!"










Today I decided to take my camera out and take some pictures of the Weiser community pond and look what I found!!











A VICIOUS, wild dog!!! Watch out! This goofy dog hates water but loves snow. Dylan tries to explain to him that snow IS water but Rufus lives in his own little world of denial.


























This is a beautiful park with a fishing pond and a couple of BBQ pits for people. It is just as beautiful in the summer.














It is right off the Weiser River and just adds to it's charm.















Here is Rufus after he discovered that he is bigger than he thought cuz he thought he could walk on thin ice. He quickly discovered that after he was shoulder deep in cold water. He can jump REALLY high. Here he is laying down and trying to get his heart from thumping so hard and fast.
















Minutes before the chilling incident.


















Amazing what the Lord can with water huh?





































Beautiful place.











































Don't give up little branch!!






















I see the mouse tail like limb wrapped around the tree but do you see the snake to the right of the picture? It looks like it was climbing down the tree when the temperature dropped and it was frozen in place.























This is about the moment I realized that the snow I was standing on, and the water going under the bridge are at the same level. I don't think I could jump up out of the water as fast as Rufus did. End of little trip.
