If you think you are cold now.....
Remember when....
It snowed feet!
To clear the driveway you had to pile snow higher than your head?
Just remember how much FUN you had when you were a "kid"!

Geocaching!
If you are not into "geocaching" or have never done it, I would highly recommend it!
Our family started geocaching over 2 years ago. Unfortunately we haven't been out much this last year. We have been busy with LIFE.
However, we miss it and it is a tradition that we will start to pursue in the future. It is an awesome pastime.

Pst- Be secretive! That's part of the fun!

Do I have something on my face?
When families get together for a meal........
Some prefer take out. Some prefer to stay home.
Parents call the shots at meal time. (or atleast we try)
But when you have children, some restaurant experiences become legendary.
I remember a time shortly after my son Marshall was born.
Every parent knows, there comes a point when suddenly you are the one who has the screaming or crying baby. You are the table everyone else is staring at. You are the one who is the recipient of comments of,"How Rude!" "How dare she come here with a child and disrupt my meal!"
As he grew older we taught him how to behave in public.
He still pushes the line, but what self respecting kid doesn't.
I think the best moments are the ones unplanned.
Event:
My husband and I had been away on business. My son Marshall had been staying at his grandmas.
We had talked with him on the phone.
"We will be there soon! I promise!" I said.
"Mom. What time? Can we go out to eat tonight?" Marshall asked.
"We should be there around 4:00. Yeah, let's go out. Where do you want to go? Pizza? The Hub? Mexican?"
"MEXICAN!!" Marshall decided.
Later in the day we arrived to pick up Marshall. He had his bag ready and jumped in the car. We drove down the road into town and pulled into the mexican restaurant 'Don Pedros. Soon we were inside sitting in a booth.
We ordered our drinks and our meals. Marshall had ordered a mexican pizza would drink a non-alcoholic strawberry daiquiri with extra whip cream and two cherries.
Soon he was plopping the cherries in his mouth and slurping the daiquiri.
He was so happy to talk with the waiter. He said hello to the neighboring family at a nearby table. He even looked at the booth behind to recomend the strawberry daiquiri.
He was so excited that everyone was so friendly and happy he talked with them.
We laughed a bit too.
He enjoys being entertaining. He is often silly.
(We snapped a couple pictures with our phone to remember the moment.)
A few hours later we arrived home. That is when he realized why we had been giggling at dinner!
Car ride to pick up our son from his grandmas....$10.00 in gas....
Dinner at a local restaurant.....$38.00....
Pictures of your kids with whipcream on their nose.... PRICELESS!
