Family Fun Weekend -- Nate, we missed you!!

Had lots of fun with Elizabeth, Chris, and the grandkids here on a snowy and very cold weekend. We checked out some stores (Tractor Supply, Game Spot), ate at Chick Filet and enjoyed their small, but at least indoor, play area, enjoyed dinner at The Old Cookstove Mennonite restaurant, of course church on Sunday morning, and Lupe's Mexican food for dinner!! Did I mention watching Olympics Opening Ceremony on Friday night, and feeding the ducks at Sportsman's Lake?? Sandy and Larry came out for a visit on Sunday afternoon - we all enjoyed spending time with them. We all hiked up to John Garrison's pond next door for a little exercise. Monday I headed to work, but sadly the new snow and ice had created hazards on the road, so I turned around and came home. The kids headed south in time to stop at Chipotle's for their lunch!!

These are dolls Barron bought while in Calgary (they were getting ready for 1984 Winter Olympics) with BFC in 1983, where he helped build the first Canadian Baptist Seminary. I got them out while we were watching the Opening Ceremony for the Olympics. The girls loved them!!

Dinner at Mennonite Restaurant outside Cullman
Snowball fights!! Guess who won!!
Girls try out the new bench by the creek -- of course this time it is covered with snow! So glad they got these new warm jackets for Christmas.

Checking out the pond on John Garrison's property next door -- great exercise on a cold day! Good thing the beavers have built a dam or the pond would be empty!!
Feeding ducks at Sportsman's Lake in Cullman -- too cold and windy to stay outside for long.
