A Menendi/Wilson Christmas......

So for Christmas (actually a little bit before) the 2 clans met in Palm Desert for some family time. It was fun to have all of us together in one place for a couple of days. We hiked, hung out, ate food, built puzzles ( just so everyone knows im a much better puzzle builder then Williams wife Casie........she will deny it but shes lying ) My wife and her parents and I all went hiking at this Indian Reservation place and while we were there I found this humming bird feeder that was covered with birds. Of course i had to take some photos, and let me tell you that those little buggers are HARD to capture!!!! I will do a separate post for those pictures. Another day, we took this sky tram thing up to the top of the mountain. This thing while a lot of fun was sketchy!!!!! Im not one to doubt human ingenuity but to ride inside of this compartment cramped full of people that rides upon a metal cable was ummm i dont know......NERVE RACKING!!!! All in all it was a blast......i cant wait till next year. Heres some pictures of the family adventure. Enjoy.





John trying to contain his fear.....



This picture doesnt do it justice, but trust me it was freaky!! I think John peed his pants......



She kept stealing my hat........this does not bode well with me. Shes lucky to be alive.


So before we headed up the mountain in the freakish sky tram thing, mom called ahead to see if there was any snow up on the mountain. I had my snow boots on the trip, but didnt want to take them if there was no snow cus they are really warm. Anywho, the lady on the phone says "oh no, theres very little snow....its only patches" as you can see that lady was an idiot.It wasnt patches of snow......it was patches of DIRT!!!! Yes lady, the white crap that covers the ground is called snow, the brown stuff that you see here and there is called dirt. I was mad....and my feet were cold. Wherever you are lady i hope that you live in a constant state of freezing........

In an effort to show us that it was not cold, my brother in law William removed his shirt.....it was scary. He later froze to death and rabid wolves carried him away.....ok i made that last part up but it was still scary.
