Snow Kayaking

Blaine saw this on You Tube and had to try it himself. I think I encouraged a little more than I should have. I kept telling him to go higher up and of course, he listened. I didn't find out till after, that he was second guessing himself while climbing up so high. I also didn't realize how darn close that Kayak came to my face when he flipped. Three things we learned in this experiment
1. Always come prepared and wear a helmet
2. Always have a cell phone on hand
3. Trust your better judgement and make sure that number one and two are always followed before heading down the hill.

Picture this

Picture this ...

You are eleven years old and playing a game of hide and seek with you family. With great success you have found everyone except mom. Where or where could she be? You checked upstairs in all the rooms and closets. You looked under the beds and in the bathrooms, you even turned on the light into the closet and reached in to try and look in the cold room but the door was locked .... In a moment of such excitement it did not cross your mind that the cold room door does not lock.

Your nine year old sister comes running down the stairs to help you find that last person. Your sister has many ideas of helping you get that door unlocked however you, being the utmost fearful one in the family, shrug off the idea and proceed to head up the stairs.... But Wait!!!! Your Sister yells for you to come quick to see what she has observed.

As you round the corner and stare at the little door within the closet you notice the handle twisting back and forth. "Mom!" you shout "stop goofing around". If only we could all see the look on your face. The door stops twisting for only a few seconds but then the door slowly creaks open. Then before you even know what is going on, the door fly's open and out bursts someone with a deep holler. You lunge backward and bang you head on the wall, while your sister is already screaming at the top of the stairs. There in the door way stands your proud mom bursting with laughter as your heart is beating out of your chest.

I love Hide and Seek. The best boredom breaker of all.

Thank you!

2 Corinthians 9:6-7

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Thank you God for blessing us and helping us through like you promised you would so many times. Thank you for the family who obediently followed your instruction and felt lead to bless us when we needed it most.
