When 90 miles separate the family...

For a while now Joshua and his friend Shawn have been wanting to get together and go hunting since Josh has never had the opportunity to before. Therefore this past weekend was decided upon for the adventure and soon after noon on Friday, Dad, Josh, Charity and Christianna embarked on the 2 hour drive up to Eddy Acres (the latter two were going to spend time with Mrs. Eddy and Theresa) just outside of Lapeer. Their time up there turned out to be spent doing many different things other than just hunting, such as baking(and of course eating), paper snow flake making, sledding and hopefully somewhere in there, sleeping! The ones remaining in Riverview, managed to conduct their time (hopefully wisely) by going sledding on the nearby sledding hill,(appropriately dubbed 'Mount Trashmore' due to the fact that 'the other side of the mountain' is used as a dump), visiting with friends, watching a movie, and then on Saturday before the 'other half' returned, going to Kinghaven Manor Senior home for a time of singing and ministry.
Oh yes, we were also able to fit in the making of our traditional family snow slide off our back deck!! You will have to see it to really understand all that is put into this annual project and experience out for yourself just how steep and fast it is, and also *CRINGE* just how short our backyard really is!!!!

Just for your enjoyment I have posted the following picture from both sides, so you can get a glimpse of what takes place when the Sauve family is separated by 90 miles! Enjoy!!

Hey Grace,
The three of us girls sure had fun. Sara saw my scarf today and thought it was really cool. She said she had seen blankets and pillows like that, but not a scarf. :) Have a great night. Stay warm.
