Happy New year TO YOU ALL!!!!!! Hope it is going well so far for you. Our family is having a blast here hanging out together. We invited friends over for lunch on Sunday and then had a snowball fight. You heard me, a snowball fight. How? Well, let me tell you. The kids made snowflakes out of paper that we hung all over and we had two baskets of rolls of toilet paper. We were divided into two teams and each team could build their fort. Then we bombarded each other with toilet paper-it was great because it didn’t hurt. There were cups set up in the middle and if you could run out and grab a cup and get it back without getting hit you would get 1 million points. (Can you tell Garth was in charge if the score keeping?) We had popcorn balls and snowball cookies for a treat. The whole day was full of snow and not at all cold. I am sure you would enjoy a break from the cold right about now, wouldn’t you?
Today Garth and I set up a scavenger hunt for the kids-it was my Dad’s wonderful idea. That was hilarious running all over the school grounds looking for clues. We all ended up back at the hostel and opened an envelope from my family with High School musical notebooks for the girls, a Kung Fu Panda notebook for Wyatt, a blow-up swim ring for Cale and REAL American candy canes for everyone. Then later when Garth was playing racquetball the kids and I walked down to the “mall”. There is a store there that sometimes makes donuts so we went to see if they had any – they did! It was quite a walk for all of them and Cale did really well holding on to Wyatt and letting him carry him across the street. We put the kids to bed a little early tonight since we are planning on going to the beach with some friends in the morning. Speaking of that, I need to go and pack our stuff up.
Love you all-
Rachel
