Day 1.044: Mountain slide

Here is our answer to last winter's 'mountain'. It's unlike it in almost every respect except for being a pile of snow outside our house. This one was constructed to act as a booster for a surprisingly successful toboggan/sled run down the side of our backyard. As you can see, Exile #4 helped with the construction and tried it out.

Most of the day was spent with Albaniana and family and with another of Exile #3's classmates and her mom. The adults had surprising (for our guests anyway) amounts of fun playing Rock Band while the children either watched, played elsewhere or from time to time joined in. While we enjoyed lunch and a glass of wine the children all watched Thomas and the Magic Railroad on DVD - at Albaniana's recommendation we steered clear of trying to understand what was going on and instead talked about politics and health-care - only occasionally becoming raucous enough to disturb the movie-watchers' fun.
