On our snow day, Marcia went out in the morning to buy boots for Liz. She also bought some inflatable sleds for the family. When she got home, there was a plumbing fiasco, so we spent the rest of the day on plumbing. However, we had a pleasant surprise that we would have an additional snow day the next day!

Jack was sick, so I took 5 of the kids to CCBC. We had 4 sleds, and we tackled the big hill first. It was fun, but Luke got too much snow in his face on the downhill. So, after a half hour or more, we went to the smaller hills in the back. It got pretty darn cold, and I had to take a break in the mini-van with Luke.

Maggie can sled this hill all by herself and she owns it. Noah alternated throughout the day between the blow up sleds and the thin one that you can slide down on your stomach. The kids were all great with Luke, taking turns with him, sending him alone, and helping him back up the hills. His favorite word to describe the experience, “Awesome”. The kids got along so well that they figured out a way for 5 kids to go down the hill at one time on 4 sleds. Pretty neat.

To continue our amazing day together as a family, we surprised the kids once more. When we got home, mom and Jack piled in the car with us, and we went to the fish store in Glen Burnie. We walked out with 6 more fish for the tank! A ropefish, 3 more gouramis, a pleco (sucker) and a catfish. Eden finished the decorations on the back of the tank, and the fish all provided several more hours of entertainment for the family.
