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.
The snow in our back yard is so high that it is almost covering the kids’ playhouse. A bit of the room is sticking out and part of some of the windows and the door can be seen as well. You can get down into the playhouse as well. I was in there today shoveling out some of it and finding all of the balls that we had in the yard under all that snow. Andrew has decided that rather than play inside the house he will climb up on top of the house and slide down. He gets bolder each time he does it and I think that he’s going to stand up and fall off the thing. Granted he isn’t too far from the ground but he might try this when the snow is quite frozen and hard. That would be a problem.
