Canoes in the Snow

Bengi and Jeremy, the cousins who I am currently living with (have I written about them yet?), ran into my room yesterday and said, "Eden! Lets use the canoe as a sled!"
At this moment I could have said in a responsible and motherly tone, "Now that wouldn't be very safe would it" and "It might ruin the canoe." But instead I said, "Why didn't we think of that before!"
The next thing we knew, we were flying through the air sideways and then hitting our heads on the frozen pond. The "hitting our heads on the frozen pond" part wouldn't have been so bad if the canoe had not responded to gravity as well. Needless to say we did that quite a few more times!

Also, today Dale and I along with many of the people from the college group at our church went to a girl's apartment and played in the snow. We built a snowman taller than all of us, did some sledding, and Dale and I taught them a balloon popping game from camp where the balloons are sort of like your babies but you try to pop each others (except we used snowballs instead of balloons). It was a little more morbid than usual. Especially when people started crushing each other's snowball babies beneath their feet and yelling "ABORTION!"

That playing in the snow was too fun. I don't know what I should think about the added "ABORTION!" part of the game, considering today's "Sanctity of Life Sunday," as we all learned in church!
