Future geeks of America unite

Braving adverse flight conditions both my brother and his son made it to Bend yesterday – toting gamer mags and an extra xbox 360 controller across the country Gavin was clearly excited to hang out with his cousin. It wasn’t long before the two boys plugged in and got to it – Halo 3. Our world soon got smaller as they immersed themselves in another. The best part was seeing them talking to one another via headsets – as they sat, um, right next to each other. The headsets came off shortly after they were made aware of the situation. Should be a great week ahead.

Snowbound

Fun weekend for sure – crazy cold and full of snow! We capped of this weekend with the last of Ho ho holiday parties, good times for sure.
The mountain was a blast, interestingly enough it was warmer up at the mountain than it was in town – the temperature read 10°s as we headed out and about 32°s about thirty minutes later when we arrived at Mt Bachelor. The snow just kept on falling all weekend long. Another trip to the mountain may be in order once again tomorrow – it’s x-mas break and the kids are home, so why not?

It’s getting warmer

24 degrees feel so good compared to the single digit highs we experienced earlier this week. With the temperature predicted to hang in the 20’s – 30’s for the next few days it’s time for building snowmen + once again time to hit the lifts.
