R&R in McCall

A few weeks ago (in January) we had an opportunity to go to McCall for a little R&R with Kirt and Lorrie. They were so great to invite us and it was a beautiful weekend. Payette Lake is frozen as you can see, and it was pretty cold.

I have always wanted to go snowshoeing! We were able to do that but at times I was all snow shoe and not much grace. I fell and knocked Mark over and Lorrie said it looked like we fell in slow motion. Once landing in that deep soft snow, it was hard to get back up, plus I was laughing so hard, I had trouble focusing on what was important: Getting BACK UP!

After making it back up and seeing Mark covered in snow, it was a funny sight. Mark was a good sport, because I caused all the trauma that he had to get us out of. Kirt grabbed my camera, saving it; but had to take some fun pictures of the mishap.
This was a beautiful shot of sunset the first night we were there taking a nice walk on the golf course there in McCall.


I couldn't help taking this picture with the contrast of the pine trees vs. the brown tree standing there looking so cold and lonely.
While on the walk we thought we would pause and take this shot at the 6th Tee of the golf course. Different kind of shot on that Tee this time of year!
A fun shot of two sisters getting some fresh air and sun in the cold. Good times!
