Mr. Big's/ Snow Day

I forgot to post some pictures from when my parents took us to Mr. Big's! Mr. Big's is a Dave & Buster's type place that has cosmic bowling, a bar, skating, billiards and the like. We really enjoyed ourselves there. Dad won the first game, and I was close behind in second. The last game Grant won and I was at the bottom. :-( Oh well, it was $1 Sunday and shoes were cheap, so it was a budget friendly outing. Thanks for the great bowling tips and great time Mom and Dad!

Most recently, I just had to post some pictures from TODAY! This morning we woke up around 8am, and it had just started snowing. After a shower we noticed it had already accumulated to about two inches! Then, we went out to get groceries cause we had nothing left in our house to eat. By the time we got out the door it was near blizzard conditions: pouring snow, blowing sideways, sight distance of about 100 ft, and roads full of snow. So far we have about a foot and a half, and it's not supposed to let up until tomorrow at noon!

Luckily, we just bought our new car yesterday! The new land rover (sneak peak picture!) and it's great 4WD was fantastic! Grant dubbed the car "the beast" since it drove through the snow so effortlessly. Seriously, if we had gone out in the Saturn, we would have been stuck over and over again. So it was really nice to get out, see the pretty snow, and finally bring some food home.

When we got home we put on some 8 can soup and corn bread that hit the spot on this cold day. We watched Braveheart and cleaned the house a little bit, but after a while we were getting antsy again. Thus, we took a quick tour of the neighborhood, which was quite beautiful as you can see.

Now we're just enjoying hot chocolate, about to light the fireplace, and will watch The Office and March Madness in the coziness of our favorite quilt! :-) Happy lasting winter to everyone!

So happy you are enjoying the snow. We are enjoying stormy weather. So I guess everyone has something to deal with this time of year. Love "The Beast"
