Sledding at Highland


Photo-A-Day #3604

We had a nice family meal at House of Fortune today. There were 14 of us from my Uncle and his family, my cousins and their kids to us and my sister, Shelby and her kids plus Mimi. The kids all behaved really well and we had a great meal together. We had gotten together because my cousin Carissa was home for a visit.

After our meal we went to Uncle Richard’s house so that we could go sledding over at Highland Country Club. We were able to hop through the fence and hike up a decent sized hill to go tubing down it. The snow around here is DEEP. I was well over my knees as I trudged up the hill either towing or pushing Andrew or Eva. The kids had a great time, however. Eva screamed like crazy down every run. Smiling ear to ear.

We had a special family Valentine’s Day tonight. Allison painstakingly made special Heart-Shaped Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger pockets for dinner. Then Allison and the kids made chocolate covered Strawberries and hand dipped chocolate covered pretzel rods as well. It was a delicious dinner and nice to spend time with Allison and the kids before I head down to New York City for Toy Fair. That is, if the snow stops enough for my train to get to there.
