Sheri Griffith Expeditions last rafting trip of the season ended on November 7th, but things really haven't slowed much here at the office. During the first week of December, Brenda, Nicole, Annie and Sarah all worked on a float for the annual Chirstmas Light Parade here in Moab, Utah. They decorated one of the rafts and used tent poles and lights to simulate waves. On parade night, Christian drove the truck, while gudies Brenda, Annie, Jen, Sarah, Silas, and Kristl's kids rode/danced/paddled their way down Main Street in Moab.
The next week Arlo, Jose and Brenda all went to Salt Lake during the for the America Outdoors Association's yearly conference. They learned some new things, shared ideas and socialized with lots of other river enthusiasts.
On December 10th, the Griffith Crew met at BJ and Lee Griffith's home for our annual Christmas Party. The food was great (as always) with a yummy turkey, John's "Christmas Potatoes", Brenda's Apple Salad, Jose's Roasted Veggies and Nicole and Marshal's hors d'oeuvres. There were other goodies including Apple-Pomegranate Crisp and a Pineapple Upside Down Cake. We appreciate all the effort that Lee puts into our yearly Christmas Party. Her home is always beautiful and welcoming.
Kristl and John brought their baby Xander all dressed up as "Santa". The little guy is three months old now!
After dinner we all exchanged "White Elephant" gifts. It's funny how some years, the gifts are all definitely white elephant, and other years, the gifts tend toward the not-so-white elephant. This year we had a good mix of both ends of the spectrum with gifts of thermostats and dress-up costumes as well as great books and home-made jams and jellies. Everyone had a great time opening and stealing gifts.
Over the next few weeks we'll be getting ready for the 2011 rafting season as we continue to take reservations for groups and individuals who are making their summer vacation plans. We'll also be working to improve our website and online reservations system to make it even more user friendly. We'll also be taking some R&R ourselves as we all take a break from the office and spend some time with our families.
