The kids stayed at Gommie and Pops hotel until 10 am-ish, eating a big breakfast, playing games, etc., after a night of swimming, game-playing, and Longhorn football (sadly, Pop reports that Sis asked, "what game is that?" I hope she meant the teams, not the sport.)
I slept in and, without a car, didn't do anything. But I did think of some of the things I should do to prep for both the holiday and the possible late-week snow.
When we all got together, we headed to the ice rink for another morning of skating. Sis is speedy--and she does love to go fast (on her bike, scooter, and now skates; she also loves to run.) Bud has improved his technique and didn't fall too often. They had a wonderful time and especially enjoyed grabbing a snack (hot chocolate and a blue raspberry slushie.)
Then we stopped at the historic house for a tour and supplies drop off. Pop hadn't been to the house before and Gommie hadn't been recently, so the kids and I gave them the tour, including the second floor and the attic. We spread the new items around the house--a "toe toaster," a spider skillet, two paddle looms, a spindle, a washboard, a chamber pot, and the rooker and malkin for prepping the beehive oven.
The rest of the afternoon was for games, cooking (more nuts!!), and hanging out together.
And watching weather forecasts to see if Gommie and Pop were going to get to see some snow!
