Abe & Koh - Last night we watched on TV the historic presidential election of 2016. I am so impressed with your interest in this civic matter, it seems more interested than I've ever been. We sat together for 5 hours watching red and blue colors appear on the USA state map. You hoped, like me, that Donald Trump wouldn't be elected. We watched in disbelief as more red states came on and that number kept rising toward 270. Finally you fell asleep on my lap and my arms before you knew the result. Koh, you slept on the sofa all night. Today you woke to learn who would be our next president. Koh, your reaction was to smack your forehead, no words. Abe, yours was to say "Bad!" I just love you guys.
It's becoming a turkey day tradition for us to go to Mt Hood, walk around Trillium Lake then enjoy dinner and play time at the Mazama Lodge. We didn't have a frozen lake or even much snow this year but we still had fun. We found some geocaches, a beaver dam, a ski lift, a deer skeleton and built some snowmen. And ate a lot, too. 
Today we took dad's phone (and we took dad too) and we went on our first geocaching adventure.
We love rocks... throwing 'em, collecting 'em, climbing up 'em, and building stuff with 'em too. This weekend we built almost 20 cairns on our favorite backyard rocky beach. 
It is hard to believe that it took nine years before one of the boys broke a bone considering all their adventures and escapades. Abe has a small fracture on his foot from doing a back flip and landing on a rock.
We haven't missed a year since we were born, and we want to keep coming' next year, too, Dad! Click to check out our anniversary music video, too!
