New traditions

I guess one of our new traditions is to have a picnic on a holiday, lol.  We grabbed a sandwich, some fruit and such and ran out nature.  We found an FTF geocache in Oregon, in the Owyhee Mountains, then we stopped by Snively Hot Springs for a warm polar plunge New Year dip. 

We were surprised that the water was so hot.  Someone reported it was 125.9 F when they were there, it felt hotter to us.  Luckily, there was a spot where the cool water and the hot mixed and it was lovely!

Beginning traditions with the next generation

I guess you could call it a tradition to teach kids to blow dandelions puff balls. I hope it’s just the first of many traditions I get to teach my grandson. Don’t you love his snort face? You’ll see a lot of that scrunchy face in this post.

Maybe shaking them would work?

Maybe plucking them works better?

The perfect combination to get those fuzzies off is a mixture of slobbery blowing and finger picking.

Ok, I guess he still needs lessons on which ones to pick. I think he really likes yellow.

PS - I'll be posting a giveaway tomorrow.
