Yes, it's snowing again. Is this stereotypical or what?

Heidi and I received our parkas in the mail today. Saturdays are turning into mail day. It seems like all the good stuff comes on Saturdays. Heidi purchased a North Face Varius Guide parka shell and a separate North Face Nuptse down insulator, while I went with the full on Canada Goose Heli-Arctic Parka . Both of our new parkas are insanely warm. I noticed this tag on the inside of my parka. I presumed that it was a place for me to write down my name in case the parka was lost, but then I saw the fourth line. You know that it is serious survival gear when it has a specific place for you to write down your blood type.

Heidi and I keep getting subtle hints from our most dedicated blog readers (Mom & Dad) for some more video of Stebbins. Thus, I've provided three quality clips below! Honda Ride Through Stebbins Walking Tour of School Fun on the Flats

Heidi and I had one of the best mail days yet. Four packages from both our parents came in, and they were all crammed full with great stuff. Thanks so much Mom & Dad, and Mom & Dad. Above: Fresh produce is worth its weight in gold up here. This should hold us over for a few weeks. Below: There are some things that you don't really need, but it sure is nice when you have them. Tea, Halloween decorations, newspapers & magazines, candles, TV show recordings, and jiffy pop are just a few.

With a fresh blanket of snow on the ground, what better thing is there to do than to take a Honda ride? It's important to dress appropriately. Thanks Robbi for making Neffy's coat. It was a beautiful day, the sun was warm and a air was cool. Neffy had fun mountain climbing. We saw our first herd of reindeer . They were pretty far off, but it looked like there were quite a few of them. The reindeer is simply a domesticated caribou. The locals maintain this herd for meat, rounding them up once a year.
