This is just based on a recollection that I had a few days ago. This last year we got the Wii
I was excited to play the Legend of Zelda game after I saw the cover art. However I had never played an RPG game before, and besides Super Mario world, I have seldom had the dedication to actually finish and win a game. (Contributing to this may have been that the SNES was my most recent Gaming system purchase.)
But I borrowed the game from a friend actually finished it last year. IT took about 7 months of playing late a night when the kids were in bed. (A little too scary for them)...
It was really fun though. And the Wii based game play was unbeatable. Swinging the sword, firing the slingshot. IT was grate.

Snow Day
part 3: Sledding at Last
Well, our neighbor either reads my blog or read my mind...most likely my mind is less daunting as a maze of riddles and free thinking than I would suppose because I doubt the former is true. :)
Keith saw me outside and asked me if I wanted his old Sleds! I could not believe it. I said yes of course.
So Hannah and I went sledding two times in the big hill behind our house. It was great.
This was not the first time as our friend Jim @ family invited us out to visit them prior and we had much fun sledding then also. What was different about this was the ability to be spur of the moment. Just go for an hour with 45 min for sledding. OK also unique, was me not getting snow in Hannah's face! Sorry Kiddo
Any way it was a blast. Thanks Keith!
And Lilly got to take her first trip across on a sled *safe on the sidewalk* for those of you concerned. Yes she will still make it to her first birthday. Ah... but that is another post!

Snow Day
part 2: Snow Pants
Do you still have Snow Pants?
If not you should go pick some up. It is so much fun to play with your kids in the snow. They are probably on clearance somewhere unless they are already sold out and replaced with swimming suits.
We tried to find a snow sled and they were all sold out. 3 Stores. Then the final one had either a saucer sled to small for the two of us, or one big enough but for $27! So, needless to say we had fun in the snow with just our snow pants and gloves instead.
We made a snow wall, and snow angles (which Hannah calls "Snow Kissing's")
It was grate fun, and we came home to a delicious Egg Bake.
Ah, what a day.

Snow DAY
part 1: Shopping
Wow that was a fun Snow Day Sunday. We slept in (well most of us :) We woke up and enjoyed some basic breakfast and then went grocery shopping in the mess. Roads were not that bad. And due to the unusually light traffic in the store? we were able to score a grocery cart driving car. These are the ones that have two steering wheels, and a little go cart in the front for the kids to drive in. Hannah loves them.

When the unthinkable happens...
Say it ant so!
My youth is passing before my eyes (OK it is long gone, but no more pretending anymore!) My favorite band's website has been dismantled! http://www.fiveironfrenzy.com/ is no more. :(
I can't believe it. Will the only surviving memory of Five Iron be the ailing memory's of its greatest fans (my friends of course) and a solo entry in Wikepedia ? Alas, we will all one day go the way of the buffalo. If only we can have as much impact on the hopes and dreams on those close to us as they had on my last high school years, we will all be doing well.
Farewell Five Iron, Farewell!

magic...
So we went to Disney, all 7 of us. The long awaited trip. It was fun, and crazy. I traveled for business and the kids got to stay with Mom at Grandma and Grandpa's house (with auntie Erin). We all made the trip the kingdom.
We had what must have been the best lines of any time of the year. Our longest wait was for the Dumbo ride about 45 min. The rest were about 10-15 min, or about as long as it took to walk down the elaborate scene scape's they make to keep you interested while waiting. The weather was wonderful. Two thumbs up.
Plus Cara and I got to go to Universal with the Kids by our selves. It was nice. Hannah really enjoyed the Curious George watter area. Later that day Cara and I went back and made it to the Islands of Adventure park. It was closing early for the Halloween experiences so we were forced to run through the whole thing. We hit 6 major rides in 1 hour (All the way around the island). It was so much fun, but we were exhausted afterward.
