Monday was a super fun family day.. we enjoyed being together without phones or internet to get in the way..
we spent a good deal of the day working together on the puzzle of Vermont. it was s such a strange and wonderful thing to do together.. so satisfying when we finished it !
we slept late, hug out in the wonderful hot tub.. ate well, played with our gifts and took an Awesome hike up the McNeil point trail. It was raining down where we started.. but by the time we got a mile or so in, we got above the clouds and it was sunny and snowy.. The forest is so beautiful..a nd so different than ours at home>>
we had an amazing view of mt hood. This is where Gabe’s very cool picture of a bird landing on his hand happened last summer
OK.. landing in Chicago now..
nite all, note sam
