Blue Mountain

We have been trying to make it out to Blue Mountain for quite some time now, but it's so hard when there are different work schedules, etc. However our schedules finally all lined up and it was a free day! So it was time to "hit the slopes".... as they say.
 The Schmitzville was our first stop... for some freshly baked Raspberry Buns - so yummy!

 Putting on the boots
 Two of the many hills at Blue
 
 Chris decided he wanted to ski instead of board - good choice for him - he did amazing!
Ready?
 Part of Chris' rental package was a group lesson - he received a "private" lesson of sorts and in 15 minutes was as good as any pro...:)


 It was SO pretty - the snow on the trees, the bush, the river through the woods, etc
 At the top of one of our favorite hills there was a Beaver Tail Station - took this picture for Jenelle - the Beaver tails will come later:)
 The view from the top - notice the lake in the background - there was low visibility for most of the day, but occasionally we were able to catch a glimpse!
 Any photographer would've had a hay day! Liz!
 hmmm - cell phone camera's can't quite capture it!
Nope we're not cross country skiing - we took a longerish hike across the top of one of the hills - view = spectacular!
 Pretty girl, Pretty picture - notice the benches!
 First Chair lift - poles were hand dug into the ground - men dug with picks through heavy clay and rock - thankful for the new and improved!
 Beaver tail station!
My vote would have to be the cinnamon and sugar Beaver Tail - warm, sweet, delicious!

The quality of these pictures are not the best, I only had my phone with me - didn't really want to carry my camera around on the hills - you never know!
Thankful for the fresh air, wonderful company, good exercise... 

Now on a little different note - Happy March 1st everyone!

I Am Your Shield

This is a song that has been a great encouragement to me and so I wanted to share it with all of you, hoping that it will minister to you and encourage you on... even during the dark times! May He give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of those secret places!  I Am Your Shield Rachel Wissman My child are you discouraged  By the sorrows of the day Does it seem like life is crumbing The skies have turned to grey Don’t forget I gave you promises to guide you every hour In the moment of your heartbreak Let me show you my great power   And I will be your shield When the battle rages on And I will be your light when the way ahead is dark I will be your strong tower And guide you every hour Just place your life completely in my hand I know it won’t be easy I never said it would But my grace will always be there My plans for you are good Remember that your weaknesses are perfect in my sight Only when you yield them to ...

Lewiston, NY

Had been way to long since I had visited my friends in Lewiston and with a few days off I had to take the time!  They are all growing up so fast, in a way I feel as though I've missed a big chunk of their lives, however I can't be everywhere I'd like all the time - learning to enjoy the moments we do get!  The handsome little man  We ventured on a get-away to Toronto for a few days- stayed in a lovely hotel and had lots of fun together!  Then visited the Peoples Church on Sunday - was really neat to see Charles Price face-to-face and hear him speak. Not quite what I was expecting in the church building, but neat experience!  Walking along the lakeshore with some beauts!  Montana's serves the best stake for a nice price! Love these girls and love who they are becoming! It's always a treat to spend some time alone with them! Love you all!  And yes!! Finally got to meet the two newest additions to the Heikoop Fami...

Baptiste Lake- 2013

Once again this summer we were blessed to be able to spend a week up on Baptiste Lake. Chris was able to come up for the first part of the week and Mark the end - so thankful that both special guys were able to be a part of it this summer:)  Didn't get a lot of good pictures this summer, but here you can see the two cottages we stayed in!  The beautiful lake  At the locks we learned "Everyone wants everything for free" - hey Aaron:)  When we got there we realized we didn't know the code for the cottage and the rental place was already closed down for the night or so we though - it wasn't technically a break in  - we just had to go through the window  Generally every summer we find our way to Eagles Nest - always such a lovely spot to lookout!  Making my mark in the wood:)  The love-birds  Have some interesting poses You can kind of see the look-out from this picture - the scenery up there is beaut...
