Long Weekend

As I write this is the end of an excellent 3 day weekend. We started out the weekend by heading to Grams and Gramps for lunch, paper signing and dinner of beans and donuts! There was much to celebrate, we bought the "Old House", the family homestead and boy were the Grandparent's thrilled. Grandpa recounts not being able to sleep whenever he bought a property, we talked history and family, it was a nice afternoon. They also sent us home with a Steve McQueen movie, "The Thomas Crown Affair" not great like they said, Grandpa loves Steve McQueen but I have to say Seth and I were underwhelmed.

Despite -20 weather, Seth spent Sunday backcountry skiing with Pat and Caroline, most shocking they didn't run into other people. Ashley and I did the more sensible thing of walking to the museum to see the Andy Warhol exhibit and take in a movie at the planetarium. Afterwards everyone met up at the Van Hemert's for a big family dinner and blueberry pie, ah!

Today once again it was freezing, the eggs have been cracking again! Ashley and I went for a tiring ski at Kincaid and met Caroline and Kyra for coffee at Middle Way.

It was an excellent weekend, so sad to see it go.

Hope you had a relaxing MLK weekend!
