This last week we were pretty busy and it was a week off ! Monday, Bren got up pretty early and went over and watched the Grandbaby's for a couple of hours while their Mother went back to work for the first time since Knox was born. Later that day we worked out in the Gym and went for a long power walk up the hill. Our daily routine this time of year almost always includes sometime in either the pool or the hot tub or both ! Tuesday and Wednesday were just R&R days. I still have that feeling that we always have to be doing something, I have been told I need to learn how to relax........... :) ! Soon all of our free time will be used up helping build our Son's new home. Thursday we played some pickleball in the AM and went out with one of the other host couples after Happy Hour at the resort. Our first stop was the Smoke House a cool place just up the road. They were hosting a Trio on the patio that walked around and played some funky / funny music table by table.............
We actually sat with another group that was a riot. The guy in the middle of the group would stop playing his guitar from time to time to play the little red kids piano you see on the table above. I think we had one as kids. Plays real tinny sounding and he hammered on that toy and made it sound ridiculously good ! It was a hoot. From there we went down to our favorite place to hang out, the Finley Point Bar and grill. We ordered a Burger to split called the Mile Marker 46. It is a huge burger in between 2 grilled cheese sandwiches which served as the buns. It came with all the fixin's, and it was delicious. Even I could not eat a whole one.....................
Mile Marker 46 !
Friday, we got up and worked out in the morning and in the afternoon Bren went to get her hair done and I worked on the rig a bit. Saturday we went out on a Trail Ride with the Jeep club that we hooked up with here in town. Just to the North West of us is the Black Tail Off Road Area. It is taken care of by our club, the Sky-liners and a Kalispell Jeep Club. We had about 12 rigs with us and it was a blast. It seemed we just kept going up and up into the mountains. Along the 4 wheel drive trail from time to time there are created obstacle's that you can test your jeep (and your nerve !) on.....
Then I was offered a ride in one of the bigger "Rock Crawlers" !
Yep, that is me holding on for dear life ! This ride is going to cost me some $ $ $ ! LOL.
Even my Jeep Girl went for a ride. Disney world has nothing on these crazy Jeeps ! Here is a cool Group shot from the trail................
Look how dusty our Jeep is ! Along the way the views and vistas were incredible.......................
And all over the woods above an altitude of 6,000 feet or so grows this pretty white flowers called Bear grass. Supposedly the stalks only bloom once every 7 years. They were all over the place !
Yesterday, Fathers day, we had a Pizza and Beer Potluck here at the resort. Everyone brought out a six pack of their favorite beer to share and a dish to pass and the resort supplied pizza and hot wings. A great time was had by all. Tony and his family came over for the event and we had some Grand Kid time too. We even Skyped with my parents. It was good to see them and see that they are doing well. I think they got a kick out of seeing Knoxon as he was wide awake and pretty happy at the time.
That is it for now................more to come !
