A Great Day

We spent the day with new friends, Dan and his 3 year old daughter Orianna. Dan is also in Scooter's class. They have become good friends in the past two weeks. Rebekah and Orianna became fast friends. Hopefully we can get them together often. We started the day at a winter festival in a small town a few miles away. The snow was falling in buckets but we stuck it out long enough to take a horse drawn wagon ride through an apple orchard. They had the neatest country store with all kinds of local treats. We came away with fresh local honey and wild strawberry preserves. Yummy! After face painting and hot apple cider we jumped in the car to warm up and grab lunch. We ended the day with sledding. Dan showed us a new park that has a much larger hill to sled. The kids had a blast. Sledding was so much fun and if you weren't careful climbing back up the hill you got to go down again. Abigail decided that momma made a pretty good sled! We made our first real snowmen several of them. And of course, adding another man to the equation meant that we also had snowball fights. We are expecting lots of snow this weekend and next week.
