Sculptures, Slingshots and Smiles

As the snow became a little more packable, Dad added to our sculptures on the deck.


A turtle, a heart...


and a dolphin.


We also had a whole bunch of rotting growing potatoes, and Josiah had the great idea of shooting them out back with our three man slingshot. We had great fun, Josiah even set up a sled by the pond for a target, I never hit it:).


We saved some potatoes, so some of the people from our church could shoot them Sunday afternoon.


Almost everyone had a try or two.


Pull, aim carefully...


and shoot!


Sister gave a valiant try.


She fell backward with the effort and nearly knocked Faith over.


Pull Tiny, pull!!! We had a great time. Even though no one hit the sled, the potatoes flew great distances, most over our fence and some all the way across the pond!
