I had breakfast. I had quesadilla for lunch. I packed up in Auggie.  I am going to Babler State Park.

I sat around the fire.  I played a game phase ten and I beat mom.  I had rice and chips

 

New additions to Auggie!  New awning to keep our shoes dry and a  non-tip feeding box made by Eric for Gus.

(We also have a brand new composting toilet also built by Eric that we will spare our dedicated readers a photo of) 🙂

I watched a movie about hockey named miracle.  It was raining in the morning. I stood around the fire.

I played Yahtzee.  We stayed up until midnight for New Year’s Eve. I got lots of snacks. My favorite was the chips.

 

 

 

[from Cheryl:  We all had an assignment this trip to think back on 2018 and name the most positive, memorable events over the year that we were grateful to experience.  We are so fortunate to be able to pick from so many!!  We also named several goals we had for ourselves for the coming year.  Below is Jack’s list and mine.  (Eric wishes not to post his publicly but also participated; this was a fantastic exercise for all of us) ]

Jack became much more independent and is staying home alone for short periods of time and is doing his own shopping and cooking in addition to baking for his own granola business!	I would like to be more present and detached from electronics and outside stressors when interacting with my family
Getting Auggie and starting our monthly adventures together	I would like to continue our Auggie Adventures at least once a month
I turned 40 and was able to see the majesty of Glacier National Park in person	I would like to facilitate Jack’s granola business expansion to the level that makes him happy
Having Eric fully incorporate into our lives and changing the configuration of our family.	I would like to take a pottery class and tennis lessons and improve my swimming ability and read at least 10 books
Taking a girls trip to Nashville to celebrate our 40th birthdays	I would like to consume less and buy only what we absolutely need
