Christmas is near. Today we went down to the New Hope Valley Railway. They run train rides once a month and have a Christmas ride in December. We weren't quite sure what to expect, but the kids had alot of fun. We took a train ride throught the woods that lasted about 45 minutes. Santa came out and gave all the kids candy canes. Luckily we dressed warm because we didn't know that the train cars were not enclosed and it was only about 50 degrees today (brrrrrr!). Yesterday, Justin had basketball in the morning. He loves it. The practiced for 1/2 hour and then had a learn to play game against another team. He was all over with a smile on his face the whole time. He would score a basket, run back for defense, give his teamates on the bench a hi-5 and then get in his position to try to rebound. Even though they were not teaching it, and really trying not to have the kids do it, Justin would get a rebound and make a fast break. It was hilarious. Later in the day we all went to a B-day party for one of Justin's school friends. It was an outdoor party on Dec. 1 (you gotta love that). Then in the evening we went to the Apex X-mas parade. Since we were coming from the party, we didn't get their early (I wish we did). It was packed. I stood about five people back with Justin on my shoulders and Owen snuck for a front row seat. It was neat going to a parade at night.
As you can see from the video below, Owen is still loving roller blading and hockey. Tuesday is his last day for this session. We signed him up for another session that starts after the new year.
Also, it's a day early, but since we will be busy tomorrow and probably won't have a post, we all want to wish Grampa/Dad a very happy birthday.
Until next time...
