Only the Good: Kid Time
Yep, I haven’t been doing as many Only the Good posts as I have been. But here’s one for you:
I am off for the weekend, with Opening Act #1. We’re headed to a Boy Scout camp North of Mars, and we’re going to sled and use his new snowboard and … well, freeze. It’s colder there than it is here, and it’s only about 15 degrees here right now.
I’ve packed my Yellowstone layers. Yep, by that I mean the layers and fleece and alpaca wool and all the other good stuff I bought when the Tour Manager took me to Yellowstone over New Year’s two years ago. (Read all about it here. Just … don’t expect to see the pictures. I don’t know where they went! And here. And… here. And see what Trevor did as soon as I left!)
Scarily, those posts don’t even BEGIN to touch the experience that trip was.
Anyway… One thing I’m not bringing? The laptop. I’m not sure there’s service, and frankly, these weekends away are all about being in the moment and having fun with my kids. And the other adults we’ll be with; they’re a cool group.
The only downer is that I haven’t been sleeping well and the thought of snuggling on the couch with Opening Act #2 and watching tween girl flicks via Netflix on Demand and making French Toast for dinner appeals way more than the idea of being so darn cold (especially because it got so cold in my office today, I’ve been on the couch in the family room for over an hour now!). But… #1 got to pick which parent was undertaking this adventure, and I snookered the Tour Manager’s best friend into driving and …
Off we go. Into the wild cold yonder.
See you guys on Monday!
Have a great weekend.

We look foward to hearing about your chilly adventures and seeing pictures!

Sounds FUN! We never ever EVER get snow and JUST got it this weekend – we had a BLAST. I see how having it a lot would be a pain, with the missing hats/gloves/wetpants/freezingfeet… but for a weekend, it was thrilling.
