The Grove Adventures...: The never ending winter

This winter was one of the longest, coldest, snowiest winters in a very long time and we had the pleasure (read misery) of experiencing it. However even in the midst of all the snow, we tried to find some fun. As you saw in the last post, we did make it up to New Hampshire for a weekend of winter fun. However, we also managed to find some fun throughout the rest of the winter.

We made a quick trip up to Boston to see a Hawks/Celtics game, courtesy of Owen's step-cousin Al Horford of the Hawks. Before the game we went to Wahlburgers for dinner, which was awesome!! We also stopped by Mike's Pastry of course! The game was fun, unfortunately Al was resting up for the next game so we didn't see him play, but the Hawks still won.

We had tons and tons of snow. More snow than I ever remember, so I made sure to take some pictures of course ;) We had lots of fires, movie nights, shoveling snow, baking, and Owen's practiced his archery quite a bit. Owen also took up pond hockey with guys from church, which I joined them for one night, it's a lot of fun and he really enjoyed it! We also celebrated Gabby's 2nd birthday, I made a little cake for her again and she loved sampling the frosting as I decorated :) We went to a play in Thomaston, Arsenic and Old Lace. And of course we have been helping out at the church kitchen a lot, including a few big events (WOW missions dinner and a Passover Seder).

So here are just a few highlights from our winter in New England and how we've kept busy. We've also been subbing at the local schools to pass the time and save for St Maarten and moving. As I finally get to writing this post, thank goodness the snow is finally melting and the temperatures are warming!
