Busy weekend

A whole bunch of distant relatives came and played with us this weekend. That was a lot of fun. We really learned a lot and so did Uncle Jeff.

We are fast! We slide and slide and slide. That spa trip made such a difference. We slide a lot easier and if you throw us too hard we go slamming into the other end. When we bump into each other we going flying everywhere. Those fuzzy things you wave in front of us really make us go far. We also like to bend and curve. If you throw us hard we go pretty straight. If you throw us just right so we stop in those pretty circles we bend and bend and bend.

The other thing we learned is we need to spin. When you grab our hats and throw us, make sure you spin us. If you don't spin us right we just kind of find our own path to follow.

Editor's note: The rocks are faster and have late finish. They also have a lot of glide and do not dig in and stop. Late finish means they curl hard as they are slowing down on draws. Takeouts will be pretty straight. Need good rotation on the rock, 2 1/2 turns. The rocks and ice are also unforgiving. A rock released with outward momentum with continue to slide outward.

Can't wait for all of you to try us out.

Zzzzz..wha...huh...Okay we're awake

Gosh that was a nice nap. Now Aunt Bobbie has pulled off the blankets and woken us up. We are all out here on the ice and getting our bottoms nice and cold. Very, very soon we will be sliding all over....wheeeeeee. Crashing into each other and bouncing around. So much fun.

The cousins will all be out and grabbing our hats and sliding us around. They will be waving those fuzzy things in front of us to say hi. Some of them will yell at us but we just pretend we don't hear them. Besides rocks don't have ears, silly cousins. I hear even some distant relatives are coming in to play with us. Won't they be surprised at how good we look.

See you all soon.

The cold weather is here

YAHHH! It is getting cold here at home. Even though we are all covered up, we can feel the cold starting to seep into us. There was some excitement yesterday as well. Uncle Jeff and a bunch of cousins stopped by and played in the cold. They were spraying water, putting stuff on the floor and some other strange things. It made us really anxious to get out into the cold and play as well.

The strange things they must have been doing. We overheard cousin Sharon ask about using more Vaseline and then later on Uncle Jeff asked to be turned on. Not sure what that was all about, maybe someone should ask cousin Sharon to explain.

Aunt Bobbie even stopped by early this morning to visit and spray more water. It must take a lot of water and stuff before we can come out to play. We will be patient and just wait our turn.

Time for some more napping.
