O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

We are you Santa? We have our Christmas tree. You here yet?

And speaking of tree, Aven Skye would like to share the details on the finding of this masterpiece:

It all started with the finding of our dear friend, Scrooge.

Which lead us to Cali's 1st preference,

then to Daddy's 1st preference.

Then, the whole family agreed....this would be the tree w/the most personality.

So let the cutting begin. . .

Merry Christmas to all!!

And to all, a GOODNIGHT:-)

Thanksgiving Excursion!!

We ain't gonna put our hands in the air and surrender. A DARN kidney stone ain't gonna damper our plans. We'll choose where we want our hands raised. We're in control of our destiny.

We've got mountains to climb this Thanksgiving season.

A God to thank for His creations.

For it is these creations that beautify and give variety to the earth.

Hidden kidney stones and all!!

It's fun to leave the modern world and get a small taste of pioneer life.

Finding our own food to eat provided the adventure

in the adventure.

Good thing we had with us our professional fire-builder to cook our findings.

And our happy, smiling ear-to-ear cheerleader to boost our confidence.


This Thanksgiving we loved learning the history of Thanksgiving


and naming our blessings one-by-one.


Our happy Poulton family is so blessed by the Lord. We are Happy and Life is Beautiful.

Aven's 2nd Backpacker

So many places to explore!!

"And , I here, am going to be the captain explorer!!"

"No, I am! I got the right gear to lead!"

"Yeah, but I am the one with the smile to brighten anyone's day!" Come rain or come shine!

Or maybe we should let our horny toad friend be the leader.

He's got good taste and knows where and how to find all the good things in life!

"Oh....where to go, where to go?"

So many possible options.

Just got to rest a minute.

And I mean, happily

and cozily rest!!

Got to be rested up to go explore the nightlife.

"Hold me, hold me!"

Nightlife is full of excitement!

Or maybe it is the daytime that brings the attraction.

And I mean attraction!!

Funny faces!!

Wet lands!!

And some music-filled chariot rides.

All in the name of Poulton Adventure!
