Ernie goes to the mountain

On Thursday the 17th Me and Tormod decided to go on a mountain trip. We figured out that the Catskills were the closest so early in the morning we packed the bags went to Fast track and bought some food for the trip and we were on out way.

The Catskills is a park area in the central New York area and it has over 30 different mountains that you can visit. Not knowing any of these mountains Tormod just put in a destination into his GPS and we decided just to go to whatever mountain was closest to that location.

It was cold in the mountains! a lot colder then we were expecting but being a outdoors man Tormod was prepared for anything, he even brought a shovel to shovel away snow if it started snowing to much or to use to make a seat.

The mountain that we ended up at was 3600 feet. It was now everywhere and at 3600 feet the wind is not stopped by a lot and it gets cold very fast. at the top of the mountain we decided to stop and make a seat and have some food. we had peanut butter sandwiches and they were amazing. i think it is true what they say that your food tastes better when you work for it.

This was my first time on a mountain and i was happy to have experienced it. I hope me and Tormod go on trips in the mountains or other outdoor places more often because it was very fun and i felt really alive being in the wild.

Tormod would like to thank his father for being amazing and for taking him on mountain trips when he was a kid, teaching him everything he knows about camping and surviving in the wild.

Well that was that adventure. i do not know what is in store for me next. Tormod Has a new job that i have not visited yet, and he also joined this Gym that is huge and maybe i will go there with him. Also there are movies out i haven't seen. Christmas is coming up to.









Maybe there will be more outdoor travel in my future, let us hope. But everyone should remember to be safe and take every precaution imaginable. Better safe than sorry. But for now, Have a wonderful day.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was celebrated at the farm this year. Oma went to main for thanksgiving and the only family in the area was me, Tormod and Bacon. so for the holidays me and the two boys went to the farm and decided to have holiday dinner there.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for not having blogged for a while but there has been other things to take care of. but here is the latest update, and the next will be even better.

Tormod brought some beer and a camera, but the camera was out of batteries so the pictures had to be taken with the camera phones for this adventure. But that was OK.

For the dinner Bacon had found some Salmon files in the freezer. For sides Tormod brought some potatoes and also some corn and pees were nuked. The potatoes were made into homemade mashed potatoes and both Tormod and Bacon got to test out their skills in the kitchen.

For the Salmon Bacon decided to make up a marinade of different kids of spices found in the kitchen. Not all of them sounded as appetizing but when it was cooking it smelled very good in the kitchen.

The food was finally done and it was time to eat, we all sat down at the table in the sun room and Tormod and Bacon put the picture of Grandpa on the table to he could be part of the thanksgiving celebration. The salmon tasted like heaven and it was a wonderful celebration with my best friends.

I missed the rest of my friends on thanksgiving, but they probably had a good celebration to so i wish all of my friends a happy thanksgiving and soon its time for Christmas.

That was my thanksgiving adventure. i think the next adventure planed is a trip to the mountains but i don't yet know witch mountain and i have never been to one so its going to bre amazing.

In a side note, Tormod took me to see a waterfall the other day but it was dark so no pictures was taken, bit it was a nice trip.

Until later have a grate time.
