Sledding down Grandad's back-yard sled run. Needed a bit more snow, but was pretty good.

Sledding XMAS 2010

Great way to work up an appetite for huge XMAS dinner. 1 mile hike up the road to giant sledding hill. Sledding and climbing up the hill approximately the equivalent of climbing Mt. Everest 4 times. Bet you don't get to sled down Mt. Everest though.

Thanks Andy for taking the awesome video.

Pool Day

Last day at the pool.

Pool temp was around 90F, but surprisingly it actually didn't feel that warm. It's been warmer in previous years.

Visiting Grandma Tovah

Went to visit Grandma Tovah.

She's 103, and as sharp as a tack.

Grandma Nancy special dessert. Chick cupcake. Was delicious. OK, the frosting was delicious. The non frosting, non super sugary cake part was not harmed during the consumption of this dessert.

Balloons

It was a year ago since Papa passed away so we decided to let off some balloons and think about him.

We wrote messages on the balloons ...

I was feeling good to go to Florida. Hooray!

(Note that the beverage that looks suspiciously like a Margarita belongs to the adult in the picture.)

Unloved Halloween Candy


Unloved Halloween Candy
Originally uploaded by nikconwell
This is 100% Darwin. This is the candy that remains 3 months after Halloween. It's picked over every night as part of the dessert treat ritual. If you manufacture or sell this stuff, you might want to have your R&D department do some studies with their target demographic (6 yr. old kids). Some kids are choosing apples over this stuff. Even parents are passing this stuff over.

Bonus, click on the image to go to Flickr to see notes annotating various entries.

Chopsticks! They actually worked and held onto the food item. Truly amazing. Dim sum bun very tasty. Dim sum bun filling, not so tasty.

Yes, it's been a while since Halloween.

Yes, the Devil Stick is still a popular item in this household.

But not with parents.
