A weekend at the Millers


About two weeks ago I was able to go up to the Millers house (my adopted family) and spend a little bit of time with them. It was a peaceful afternoon. Here is a few pictures detailing a normal weekend at the Millers! Its a little slice of heaven that I can call my home away from home. A place where I almost always feel peace in my heart when I can't anywhere else.

Well as we drive up the driveway we must be sure to watch out for the Train that might be crossing (I love there silly signs)

Ahh yes the parking lot, be sure not to park on the very right spot, the farthest from the door, its a handicap parking only spot :)

Finally to the front of the house, This in itself it so nice to see. Even though its only an hour away, it takes you away from the world from the city life. to where all you hear is the wind as it flows through the tree.

As we see Summer is now gone, The leaves are changing, the water is now cold, and the air is quite brisk. Wake up in the morning and get bundled up and ready for the day, bring out the hot chocolate and wait for the first Snow to hit the Mile High Floor

As the day progresses on we make our way to the Climbing wall and try the different routes (they are really hard and challenging) atleast to me they are, Chase and Sam just scurry right up like it was nothing.

We make our way after climbing the wall and go sit by the fire pit, but since there has been no rain we just let it sit there with no fire lit, but come middle of winter its fire time.

Once rested from our climbing we will make our way into the shop and work on anything from Welding and Metal work to Wood work. And lets not forget the working on bikes or jeeps. They are a must!
Such fond memorys of installing all this equipment. Ive been able to learn so much along the way. Helped install the benches the lighting, and the crane which will be in a later picture, and much much more!

Once done with a long day of work and play there is nothing like coming up to the loft above the shop, where we will put a movie up on the projector, sit back, and relax for the remainder of the night, with drinks and popcorn ready for us.

That is a weekend at the Millers.
Its a weekend of fun, excitement, relaxation, and a joy of being up in the middle of the forest, with picture perfect mountains that can be seen from the living room window.
Stars that are bright and clear in the night sky.
