Well I am back from Pa. I had a lot of fun hanging with the Wallers (I can’t thank you enough guys for letting me stay with you!). But the Wallers are a very outdoor family and like to do outdoor stuff a “city girl” like me isn’t used too. It seems everytime we get together they take me out mountain hiking (really long too!), kayaking, or something like it. Well this time around it was rock climbing/repelling and wakeboarding. I didn’t actually climb the rock but the repelling part was really fun! And the wakeboarding was very hard to get up and stay up! And now my arms are killing me! So anyway that was my adventure! I wonder what the Waller’s have in store for me next time!

A couple of days ago it snowed and was well packed in with a layer of ice on top. We decided we wanted to go sleding but here is the problem….we don’t have a sled. So we went through the house looking for anything that can be used as a sled. We found that the laundry baskets and plastic bins work really good. But boogie boards were good at first but then you would be going down the hill and the board would stop and you would keep sliding down the hill! Other things that worked was the lids to the plastic bins. We had a large long one that could fit two people, that was the fun one!!! In fact me and my dad almost hit a tree because we were flying and couldn’t control the lid! But we are still alive!! So next time you want to go sleding and don’t have a sled just look around your house, I am sure you can find something to use as a sled!

Yes, it is true I have been pulled into watching football! Well sorta. I watched my first full length (full way through) football game on Sunday! It was the playoffs between the New England Patriots and the New York Jets. The Patriots will go on to play against the San Diego Chargers this Sunday. Part of me still doesn’t get the whole concept for football but again I just watched my first game. Although I am not going to get obsessed with it like many Americans. Although I am wearing a San Diego Chargers sweatshirt! Go Chargers!!! I know, I know, I live in New England but are cheering for the Chargers. Go figure that one out!

Chargers, Chargers!!!! GO, GO, GO!!!!!!
