It certainly was a Fun Friday January 4th, 2008. The weather was beautiful, calm, and sunny. We along with our oldest daughter and family spent the day at a favorite spot of mine, Spearfish Canyon. This is up in the Northern Hills and it was white and glittering with the 7 to 8 inch's fresh snow. This is the gorgeous Log Restaurant where we enjoyed a quiet, relaxing meal.
The fire place to our right was crackling with warm fire, the food was great and the company superb. The 4 children were as well behaved a they could be. The scenery out the big windows was gorgeous with a nice view of the canyon.
This is Pa pa and our Grandson enjoying the scenery from the inside of the restaurant.

After the meal, we followed the snow covered trail around and below to a good size waterfall. The waterfall was still running strong but had a lot of frozen ice around it. It is so amazing how different things look in winter and how the beauty is still there, only changes.
I especially loved the big snow covered areas at the bottom that resembled big hills of ice cream. Those are words from my grandchildren. 
My daughter, son-in-law and their 4 children.
I must say our handsome tall son-in-law sweeps our Daughter off her feet! Very cute, loving and playful! They are just too cute!
This our beautiful 10 year old granddaughter posing in front of the waterfall.
Our youngest granddaughter at 5yrs old posing along the trail.
And this is our youngest grandson, He absolutely thought it a blast to keep falling in the soft white snow. He was about soaked when we finished our hike.

He also took part in some of the snow ball fights. Father and older son really got into this snow ball/chase game. It was fun to watch them. Even mom got hit by a few snow balls.
She may have even thrown a few!
You can see how still it was and how the freshly fallen snow just lay about 7 inch's deep.
On the trail. Deep in the canyon and in the pine forest. We all enjoyed the quarter mile hike.
More beautiful scenery.
This was toward the end of the trail as we came up toward the west out of the canyon.
On the way home we stopped at some very close friends for a short visit. 
LOOKS GOOD!
JUST ONE MORE TRY!
