Top 10 List from 2011

We hope that you had a Merry Christmas and that you have a Happy New Year! 
We are looking forward to 2012.


Our Top 10 List from 2011...
10. Learning to snowboard at age 30 is much harder than learning to snowboard at age six.
 

9. Sophie does not like bears. At all. Neither does Cheree.
