Evergreen Lake

The weather was pretty crummy, but we decided to check out the town of Evergreen about 20 minutes into the mountains from our house.

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at the Aspen Grill overlooking the lake.

We then explored some trails around the lake and enjoyed the peaceful scenery.

We have heard the ice skating here is nice in the winter.

3/24/2011, Avery's birthday surprise

Our wonderful friends in Michigan surprised Avery with a package for her birthday.  It was filled with things she loves, from the friends we all love.  She was feeling down because she has not made many friends here yet.  This REALLY brightened her day!  Thank you so much!!
