Mel and I went to Bass Lake for the weekend with our young marrieds small group (The Foster's, Moog's, Moxley's, and Mayerson's). It was a lot of fun. Some of us stayed at Natalie's parents house and some of us stayed at the house across the street. The neighbors rented us the cabin for $100 for the weekend. It was a steal.

The weather was pretty clear, but super cold. It topped out in the mid-30's during the day and dropped to the teens during the night. We spent the days playing tons of games and watching football. I must've played Scrabble 12 times.

We went to the snow on Saturday with the Moxley's. It was Jack's first time in the snow so it was fun to be able to experience that with them. He seemed to enjoy it although in the first minute he fell and did a complete face plant in the snow. He was less than pleased.

James Koch lives up at Bass Lake and he hung out with us a majority of the time. In honor of him and the snow I am posting an announcement video from 1999 that we filmed for the high school group for Big Snow. The video features Kyle Clark, Andy Shaw, and James Koch (I filmed it). This may be the worst piece of video ever. Enjoy.
