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!

The latest and greatest way to play "hot potato"! :) That looks fun; we'll have to try it sometime...
