Grammy and the Uncle of Fun




On Tuesday, December 23, Becky's mom (Grammy) and younger brother Josh ("the Uncle of Fun") arrived from Virginia. We knew the snow wasn't going to last, so that night after dinner, Josh and the kids went outside for some sledding. Because of the somewhat icey surface on the snow, they were able to go unbelievably far--well into the next door neighbor's yard, across their driveway. We live on 3 acres, so that is saying alot. We figure it was about 300 yards. Joseph even made it the whole way down "surfing," or standing on the sled. Josh attempted it, but when the sled started to go out from under him, Katie said he looked like he was tap dancing, trying to regain his footing before somersaulting backwards down the hill. Hot chocolate afterwards hit the spot.
