Photographic catch-up Part 1

Please forgive the photos - I'm test-driving the "new" work camera and there's a learning curve to it...
Annual Yellowstone Assoc. - Xanterra holiday sale. They get rid of their damaged, overstock, and odds-n-ends at this every year. THE place to be seen in the GMGM during the holidays, the official kick-off to the xmas season, and a place to score free cocoa & cookies.

TUCKER HITS YELLOWSTONE!!!
When asked what he wanted for Christmas, he said "I want to go to Montana with CC" so Aims and I got together and brought him "home" for the holidays
Typical morning start with Tucker's special breakfast - over-easy eggs and hashbrowns (excuse the mess, but I live here) The boy is VERY particular about his eggs...
First attempts at sledding - Jessi's backyard was not enough of a challenge...
So we headed for Mammoth and bigger hills. On the way I got to test the zoom on the camera - a couple of Bighorn Sheep were lounging on a cliff in the sunshine...
Maximum zoom: (no tripod here folks)
Max physical zoom
From the road - you can see the specs in mid-photo:

On to the hills behind the Mammoth school - first the little hill then the big one:
I loaded some video on YouTube - seriously will make you laugh!

The next day, Izzy, Ben, Tuck, and I went to the Boiling River for a soak/swim - fun was had by all despite the temps:
More to come...
