So my word for yesterday's photo is just simply.....Peace. There is nothing quite like being there in the winter, when not very many people are around, and it's snowing and quiet and beautiful.
And what do we do while we are there? Well, it's usually not quite as peaceful as that picture.
Well, there are several lively games of Skip-bo. They tend to get a little cut-throat.
And reading. LS Boy is currently reading Tony Blair's biography.
And several lively games of Sleeping Queens. Very fun, short card game that even the SGB has tried his hand at. There was also a stretch of playing Spot It, also a really fun, short game for multiple ages.
Temple Run on my ipad. I know nothing about this game other than The Girl loves it and downloaded it onto both my ipad and my phone.
We also brought up a couple of movies for the evenings. We watched Abduction, which I won't even link because it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Totally not loving Team Jacob. He's one of the absolute worst actors out there, IMHO. We also watched Contagion, which wasn't tremendously riveting, but which I liked from a medical standpoint...just seeing how easily things can be spread. And we watched The Help. Loved this one. Even DH said he enjoyed it. I haven't read the book, but the movie makes me want to.
What? "Not-Florida" didn't work for you????
Meg plays Temple Run too. Read The Help and waiting for the movie to come out on cable. Really enjoyed Contagion for the same reason you did.

Looks nice and relaxing. We've seen those 3 movies too, and even though he may not be the best actor, (ala Steven Segal who really IS the worst actor ever), TL will probably be an action hero because he has those Kung-fooey moves. Shoot me, but I liked The Help but didn't love The Help. Contagion really freaked me out and made me wonder if my part of the world would all turn on each other if that happened here. In that last picture, The Girl looks remarkably like her oldest brother...
