Went to church on Sunday morning. Was a really nice service. Celestine Olive and the choir led worship. Really like seeing Mr. Pelley up there in his choir robe swaying back and forth. There was a potluck meal after services so had the chance to see a lot of old friends there.
After church, we decided to take a short hike up into the mountains. It was a great day for it ... just cool enough to feel like autumn. Zach, Andrew, Kelvin and I did some "off-roading" during the hike which the boys just loved. They thought they had conquered the mountain (see photo) by getting off the trail. Was a great view too as it was a clear day.
On the way back down the mountain a lizard darted into the path just in front of Karen, Mom and Judy. By Judy's reaction, you would have thought it was a Komodo Dragon. Shrieks of horror echoed across the valley. The men-folk came shooting out of the woods apparently just in time to keep Judy from being carted off by the terrible beast.
Had dinner at Northwoods Inn steakhouse (an old tradition). Gotta love the cheese bread and salads there.
Finished the day with some billiards. An epic competition ensued between Zach, Andrew, Kelvin and Pop-Pop. Several games ended with the 8-ball being sunk when it wasn't supposed to ... at least that kept the games a little shorter.
We're off to Australia tonight. The adults are dreading the long flight. The boys think it will be the best part with their own video screens on the plane.
