Weekend Drive

This weekend we decided to go for a ride in our new truck. The girls had yet to go with us on a ride. We went to Bassit Lake, a small man-made lake. It was beautiful.

After we visited Bassit Lake we headed to the Success Loop drive. This is my favorite drive. It is beautiful and this time it was even more beautiful. The trees have just started changing colors. Although I am not as good as Sara at capturing the beauty. I think I did ok.

The best part is that I finally was able to get a picture of an animal. I have taken this drive a few times and have never been able to take a picture of an animal. Usually because I did not bring my camera. This time I was able to shoot a deer. (Not literally!) He is small but I don't care. He stayed by the truck for some time. I was impressed that he wasn't too shy.

Hopefully after you see the pictures you might want to come all the way out to this small little town of Ely. We do have a few things to offer. We would love to show you.

Student of the Week

We were so excited when Julianna was nomnated for Student of the Week. She was nominated the first week of school. It was so exciting to open the Ely Times (local newspaper) and see Julianna's picture. Here is what her teacher had to say, "Julianna has been a #1 helper for the first week of school! She is always willing to help her teachers and fellow classmates." We are so proud of her.
