President's day!

I'll admit, I'm rather lazy in my civic duties. President's Day was not spent talking about George Washington or Abraham Lincoln. It was not spent teaching about any of the great men who have served our country as President of the nation. I figure we'll get that along the way, it's being taught in school, they come home talking about it. Instead we spent the day enjoying ourselves.

First we went sledding again. This time I remembered the camera, yeah me! There was a cute bunny sitting in our backyard so his/her picture has been included for your enjoyment.

It was rather bright out that morning, but no wind like there was on Saturday. This crazy weather allowed for 38 degree days which led to a little bit of melting each day but it gets down to the teens at night. It was a sledding hill which was a bit more icy than on Saturday. Some bruises were accumulated on this trip that we managed to escape on Saturday. The hill was slick enough that some children chose to "sled" in their snow clothes and not go as fast as sleds allow.


After a hard ride.


After sledding we went home and showered and changed. Then we headed down to Carson City. There is a train museum there that we wanted to take the kids to. Unfortunately, it was experiencing upgrades and routine maintenance so most of the exhibits were not available. But the few we got to see were fun and there was no admission because of the inconvenience.


Then it was off to Costco for a shopping trip and lunch. We had a good afternoon. Stopping by the Chocolate Nugget on the way home was a nice treat where everyone got a little bit of chocolate for dessert. We came home and hung out, played games, watched TV, did laundry and took it easy. I did take Rachel to get her hair cut and thinned. It sure makes a difference to have it thinned out. It looks cute.
