Sledding

We had about 12 inches of snow last weekend so of course what was the next best thing we needed to go and do..............SLEDDING! So off we went on Saturday we went to Cornel plantations and then on Sunday we went to Rice Hill. I only have photos of Rice Hill.

 Luke and myself getting ready! Hats, gloves, glasses, all set!

 Duncan and Luke lining themselves up. They loved racing each other.

 Rice Hill overlooking Lake Cayuga! It so so long and steep. Going down was great fun, coming up was exhausting but good exercise!

 Phil and I just before we went down....................

 ...............And.....................ready steady...................go!

 It was great fun! We felt like teens again!

 A half frozen waterfall at Taughannock State Park. There are many waterfalls, hikes and trails in Ithaca so I can`t wait for the Summer when we can explore all these places. There is a tour this week, walking in the snow to the waterfall. We may go but depending on how cold it is and if the wind is blowing, then it can be really unpleasant, so we will see?

It was a beautiful sunny day.

 

I will be posting about our lives in Zimbabwe as my blog does not have anything on Africa. I originally started this blog so that our friends and family could follow our adventures in America, so that was my purpose (as well as to encourage those who home school). Our hearts go out to our Beloved country as Zimbabwe faces another election and political turmoil. We have been praying for our friends who live there and for their safety and protection during a time of robberies and attacks. Our hearts go out to you all! We may be far away physically but you are constantly in our hearts and prayers!

We pray that God will give you the strength to perservere in times of trials and that you will come out stronger in the Lord as your faith grows and as all people in Zimbabwe seek the Lord and come to KNOW HIM as their Lord and Saviour. Amen. 

 

Isaiah 51:7-8 "Hear me, you who know what is right, you people who have my law in your hearts: Do not fear the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults. For the moth will eat them like a garment; the worm will devour them like wool. But my righteousness will LAST FOREVER, My SALVATION through all generations."
