Valentine’s Day weekend at the Sunburst Lodge

Kevin and I decided to get away for the Valentine’s Day weekend. This is something we have never done before, so it was exciting to plan.

We left around 3:30 Friday afternoon to head up to the lodge which is on Casper Mountain. When we got here, we were surprised and knew we would be in for a big treat. Here is a picture of the outside.

We were greeted by the cook and she gave us a tour of the house. It’s beautiful, so warm and peaceful. Here are some pictures of our room.

We had home made fried chicken with real mashed potatoes, chicken gravy, corn on the cob, salad, and home made bread for dinner and home made apple pie with icecream for dessert. This morning we had fruit, home made banana bread, bacon, and eggs for breakfast. Tonight we’re going to have prime rib for dinner. Can’t wait for that!

I’m so glad Kevin found this place for us. It’s such a wonderful place. I just know we’ll come back again. It’s nice to be so close to home, but feel like you’re in another part of the world.

Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone!

Look at what I got for Christmas!

My hubby bought me a ring for Christmas. He said the ring we bought 16 years ago was to small and was never good enough for me. He told me that it never really was what he wanted, but it was all we could afford at the time. Now 16 years later he gives me the one below.

Isn’t it just beautiful? I cried and cried when he gave it to me.

Our pumpkins

We were at Walmart in early October and found a kit that contained plastic pieces that you push into a pumpkin. There were eyes, noses, eyebrows, hair, and so much more.

Here is Chris’ pumpkin. It’s kind of creepy looking. LOL

Here is Josh’s pumpkin. Isn’t he cute? LOL

One last picture is one of the two pumpkin’s together.

Needless to say going this route made them last longer and there was NO mess to clean up. WooHoo!

Halloween was so much fun!

Halloween was fun this year. My youngest was a clown and my oldest was a wrestler.

Here is a picture of Josh in his costume. Josh had paint on his face that didn’t want to come off that night. Chris tried and tried to get it come off, but it wasn’t moving. Josh had red paint on his nose and mouth. It was cute!

Here is a picture of Chris in his costume. Chris was CM Punk. He had the shirt and the taped up wrists with the X’s on each one. He also had the Pepsi tattoo on his arm. He made a very good wrestler.

So, now the question is…what will they be next year?
