A fun outing!!!

This past weekend we took the kids and Kendall, (a good friend) and went to Dayton. We grabbed a bite to eat and then headed to Gander Mountain. They had a few things that you could sit in and the kids were having a great time "driving" the boat and 4-wheeler. They also had a good time looking at all the animals on the walls and playing with a few of the toys they had, but I think what made the night, well at least for me was when we stopped at the Cold Stone Creamery on the way home. I do not have any pictures of the ice cream, because we got it to go, and I was too busy making sure it went in the kids mouth and not anywhere else, but it was really good.
We had heard that it was getting nasty on the roads around home, because of the blowing and drifting snow, so we did not know what to expect the closer we got to home. They had kept interstate pretty clean, but the country roads were not good at all. When we pulled up in front of our house and started to pull in the driveway, it had drifted so bad that we could not get the van into the garage. That is when Jason and Kendall's pager's went off for a fire, so they went running to the fire department and I was able to get around the drift with their trucks out of the driveway, but I really didn't know just how bad the roads were until later I learned that the country roads were so bad, that they had given instructions that if they had any runs in the middle of the night, that they were not to leave until Jason or another guy, who also has a snow plow were there to plow the road ahead of them. I guess on the fire earlier that one of the firetrucks had a hard time getting down some of the roads, which obviously is not good when you are trying to hurry and be extra careful at the same time.
But all in all we had a good time in Dayton and here the kids and Daddy are sitting in one of the boats,and probably a little bit of dreaming was going on too.
