Biscuit just had his birthday on the 2nd!!  Now he is two years old.  It snowed a lot on his birthday, and he likes snow, but the snow made his agility class get cancelled.  This (the picture below) isn't at his agility class - it's in our back yard - but this is a picture of Biscuit jumping through a hoop:

I have to go now, but I'll try to write soon! ~Carrie

Yesterday Mama took Amy, Walter, and I sledding.  The day before yesterday we went sledding, too, but we didn't take pictures then.  We went to a park fairly close by, because it has a great hill.

This is a picture of me sledding:

I must have gotten turned around in this one.  Anyway, you can see Amy and Walter at the top of the hill.  Below is a picture of Amy sledding:

You can see me and Walter at the top.  I don't think there is a picture of Walter sledding, but here is a video of him sledding:

Here's a video of Amy sledding:

Here's a video of me sledding:

This is the view from the top of the hill (facing the other way):

There were lots of Canadian geese, so here is a picture of them (they're in the top right):

At the end, the sled broke.  We've had it for a really long time, though (we had it when we lived here before).  And we probably won't be needing another sled for a while, since we're moving to San Diego.

I'll try to write again soon!  ~Carrie

Sorry I haven't written for so long!  I'll try to write more from now on.

On Saturday, Walter had his Sparks-a-rama.  It is where Sparks (Walter's age group in AWANA) from other churches go and play the Sparks games against each other.  Here are some of the games:

This (below) is the Sparky-crawl:

What the kids in Sparky-crawl have to do is crawl across the game circle, then one kid has to run in and grab the pin (1st place) or beanbag (2nd).  Below is a video of Spark-crawl, with Walter the one going in to grab the pin:

Another game they play is the Sparky-train.  I don't think they got a place in it, but here's a video of it:

Below are some pictures of another game called Sparky-safari.  They have to run around the circle with a beanbag on their head.  Once they've been around, they hand the beanbag to the next person, then that person runs around and hands the beanbag to the last person.  After the last person has run around, they drop the beanbag, and run it to get the pin.

Here is a video of a game called Balloon Battles.  What the kids have to do is keep the balloons out of their section:

This is a game called Rabbit Hunt.  Teams go in one by one, while the other teams throw balls at them.  They have to try to dodge the balls.

The last game is Sparky-balloon pop.  The kids have to pass a balloon under their legs, and the last person has to pop it by sitting on it.

I'll try to write again tomorrow.  ~Carrie
