A new year and late as usual!

Scenes from the annual neighborhood sledding party:

Our neighbors put on a fantastic fireworks display around 9pm.

Fireworks with the moonlit mountains made for a gorgeous sight!

ooooooing and ahhhhhing!

The infamous sledding run: grab a hold of one of the ropes tied to the back of our neighbor's 6-wheeler vehicle thingy called the Green Machine, get pulled to the top of the road, let go, turn and zip down past the tiki lights, make a right(if you can!!!) into the driveway, head down and make a sharp turn to the left( if you can!) and slide on over to the bonfire, drinks, food and fun!

a Blue moon AND lunar eclipse!!! You can see the shadow just starting on the moon's bottom left. Very cool!

At midnight, all down our valley, near and far, fireworks were going off! I've NEVER seen so many people doin' the 'works up here! There was even a group setting them off from the top of one of the ridges! Very impressive! What a great moonlight hike THAT must have been! Hmmmm..maybe a fun plan for next new years eve!
