Games at the Harriman

Game Night

Hey! It’s 2010!
McK and I went to the Harriman Ranch for New Year’s Eve. My sister and brother-in-law invited us! Alan and Ali set the whole thing up for us all. The Harriman is in eastern Idaho, less than 3 hours south of Helena. It’s a complex of ranch buildings (established 1902) including the two buildings we used, a cookhouse built in 1949 and a  bunk house just remodeled in 2009. We were the first group to use the new bunk house. It was amazingly nice.

Because you have to ski anything you want in on a sled—not even snowmobiles are allowed—you have to be very selective about what you bring. So it says a lot that there was one full load of board games.  Board game photos are NOT very exciting, but we did get a pretty wicked Jenga tower going. I’m not going to share the picture of the tower falling, partly because I want you to imaging the tower going on and on forever and partly because they are hopelessly blurry.

Maci’s Two Christmases

McKenzie’s niece Maci is 8. Whenever she’s in Helena we try to go and see her because she’s so cool to hang out with. This weekend, before we left for the Harriman, we stopped out to McKenzie’s Mom’s and watched Maci open all her Helena presents.

She’s big into horses and was thrilled to get a full set of riding gear including these new jodhpurs and riding boots.
