I'll push myself up through the dirt and shake my petals free
I'm resigned to being born and so resigned to bravery.

2011 mayhem

To bring in the new year with a bang, we took a walk around Castle Island.  It was in the mid fifties, so we walked it twice.  I know, totally wild.

And because I’m my father’s daughter, I’ll add a completely unrelated (but noteworthy) photo at the end:

Happy new year!

Quit it before you land yourselves in jail.

Dad Dave: How come we have to go outside in 5 degree weather to get exercise and you can go out in 55 degree weather. Not Fair! Not nice to post about it!

Jill said...

I'll have to make a note of Castle Island - I don't think I've ever been there and it looks like a lot of fun!

Happy 2011!

P.S. In case I haven't said it lately: Squiggles is SO CUTE!

Ha, at least you went outside. I celebrated by eating brownies, playing card/board games, and going to bed at 10:00 pm- though I'm pretty sure it was midnight somewhere.

A. Where is Castle Island?
B. Cami, why do Tim, Laura, and Squiggles have to go to jail? They're so nice!
C. I liked the pictures!

Don't you love that trickster, Mother Nature? I loved our couple of 50ish days, and now I've been smacked on my bum in the 20's again. Oh well. What did I expect? Glad you got to go on a beautiful walk together while your boogers weren't frozen in your nostrils! ;)

Beautiful pictures! Happy new year to you, too!

Have I told you yet this year that your little girl is ADORABLE!

I just got caught up on your blog and saw your Europe visit and I went to the same restaraunt in Switzerland on top of the Schilthorn that you did! We hiked up to the top, then took the gondola down and almost died in a lightning storm :) We might have even stayed in the same hotel as you! And all the pictures of the food brought back good memories :)
So cool!
Oh, and I really like Squiggles' strawberry hat :)
