Sleeping in a Train

Hello family! Long time no write. The man's had me pretty busy lately, you know.

So this weekend we decided to get away for a little family trip. We found a place by Rainier National Park where we could sleep in some ole renovated train cars. It was a rockin good time, even though it was too cloudy to see Mt. Rainier.
Check out these pics!
















Hobo Inn it was called.















The pizza car had really good pizza and hot wings. We slept in the red car on the right.



















Jak made a train inside the train car. He was so excited to be in a train the every 5 minutes or so he would remember and say "I'm in a train!"



















These were some high seats in our car that Jak loved playing in.


















































This was a hike we did to a waterfall in Rainier Park. Jak hiked the whole way up by himself and then rode down in the pack.

Love you all,

Danny

Its been awhile since I've poste, so I figured now would be as good a time as any. I just got back from playing frisbee golf around campus. THe frisbee team made a big course that goes through all of campus, its pretty fun. We have to play late at night so we don't run into very many people. Its always an adventure and usually hilarious events happen... Good times. It is about one in the morning now, and I am procrastinating going to bed because that means I just have to wake up and go back to work. Ugh. Playing on the computer sounds like more fun, even though it means I will be tired tomorrow and probably late for work... I registered for winter courses yesterday. it was good to be able to do it early and get all the classes I want. The only problem is that a lot of the classes I want overlap, so I have to make some sacrifices. I want to take this American Authors: Cormac McCarthy class, but I don't know if it will work. I am done with my English minor, but this class sounds interesting as I am a fan of McCarthy (The Road and No Country for Old Men, among others...) My Short Story class that I'm taking right now is OK. We just finished Faulkner and are onto Alice Munro. My favorite author so far has been Hemingway, my least favorite, just because we over did her, was O' Connor. My other classes are all Comms electives; this winter semester is my "application" semester for the creative track. They want you to take kind of an easier load and focus on getting a portfolio ready. Should be exciting.

I'm excited for Christmas. It sounds fun to see everyone (who knows? maybe Thanksgiving wil work out to go up there...). I am thinking about gifts. Early? Yes, but I have nothing better to do. I wouldn't mind framing pictures for people, if they want them. But you'll have to let me know, I think I have already given people some and don't want to over-do it. So if you have one in mind that you want framed, let me know sooner than later. Other than that, I think we should post gift ideas on the blog, and figure out if we will do a name draw or what. You guys probably don't even want to think about it yet, I know. But have it back there somewhere in your mind and write ideas as they come.

Well, love you all and take care!
