Pump it up Zone

Joe had the day off today, so we wanted to do something fun with Brodie. Unfortunately it was been raining all day so it's is really cold and slushy because of all the snow melting. We decided to take him to this place called Pump it Up Zone, it's only about two miles from our house. At first Brodie wasn't sure about it, but by the end he was running around and trying to jump.

The Spot

I didn't have time to post this before we left for Florida. After we went sledding in our back yard, Joe's dad called and said to get our sled ready because he found the spot. Some kids in his neighborhood had told Da that there was a hill behind a church that was great for sledding. We were shocked when we pulled up to the church because we had to park a quarter of a mile away. The place was absolutely packed.

Valentine's Day

Today was Valentine's Day and Brodie and I got a surprise delivery from Joe. He sent us and Edible arrangement, Brodie loved it. Between Brodie, myself and my mom we almost ate the whole thing. My new favorite snack is chocolate covered pineapple, if you have never tried it you will be surprised how good it is. Thank you for the fruit honey, we miss you and can't wait to get back home to you. Here are some pictures of Brodie devouring the arrangement.

Florida so far

We have been in Florida since the 9th. So far we have slpit our time between Tampa and Ocala, we have had a lot of fun. Unfortunately I think that we brought the cold weather with us, it's been pretty chilly down here but nothing compared to home.

The Blizzard

Yesterday we cut our trip in the Poconos a little short, because there was a big storm coming in and we didn't want to get stuck up there. We made it home just before the blizzard hit. I ran out to the grocery store to stock up on enough stuff to stay inside for a few days. The store was crazy, I don't think that there was a single loaf of bread left. This morning we woke up to about three feet of snow. It continued to snow until about 3:00 this after noon. Joe decided that he was going to make the yard Brodie's own personal winter fortress with sledding runs, a snowball fort and even and Igloo.

This is the Before picture

Brodie was so excited to go sledding that he tried to take his nap on the tube, so that we couldn't go without him
