A Buzz

Our house was all a buzz this weekend.  Happily a buzz!  My brother Mike, his wife Jill, and their three kiddos made the trip from MN to spend some quality time with us.  Great fun was had by all, kids & adults alike!  We ventured out to our land for a good old fashioned sledding adventure, and was it ever a hoot.  Thankfully, the early week thaw had not melted all of the snow, but what it left behind had a new and very slippery crust on top.  Let's just say that the trip down was a speedy one, and required some serious 'leg braking' at the bottom so you didn't catapult into the tree line below!  Don't worry, Dad, safety always came first, but laughter was close second! (Hadley, Mikey, Savannah, & Brooklyn)

All four little girls went wizzing down several times, but Jeremiah went down the most times!  He went down on his own slippery set of snowpants, and loved every minute of it.  Mike did manage to corral him into his sled once, but quickly returned to his own methods afterward.

The kids played hard together until bedtime (Savvy looks like she might fall asleep nestled among everyone!). 















And, they all woke (early) this morning ready to play again! Unfortunately, with a nasty blizzard on top of us, Mike readied his family quickly and made a safe but treacherous drive back home. Both Hadley & Piper waved as they drove out of sight, but were nearly in tears now that the much anticipated visit was finally over. I think we'll have to do it again, very soon!
