We had a
great adventure at the Terry Peak house this past weekend. We arrived
at 4pm to a
very cold, big 4 bedroom house (3 floors). The furnace was on the
fritz, which meant a chilly evening; thank goodness for a wood burning
fireplace! I stayed bundled in my winter coat and hat for nearly 5
hours, while everyone seemed to adjust to the cool indoor temps (the
kids ran around til about 8pm, so I'm sure that helped). I thought for
sure that I would be sleeping in my coat and hat
under the few blankets on the king sized bed. But, thankfully the
maintenance man was able to repair the furnace just in time for sleep.
Phew!
As
far as sleep went, Josh slept like a rock all night long, but Grayson
and Saray played tag sleep; Grayson would cough, which would wake up
Saray for 20 minutes or so. Finally they were fast asleep, only for it
to last 30 minutes or a hour until the tag game would start over.
Blah. At least sleep is overrated.
The
kids had a blast playing in the hot tub outside under the stars with
Daddy, Uncle Jesse and Uncle Jansen , Aunt Molly and Brittany (Jesse's
girlfriend). The hot tub was a highlight for the kids, that and
watching "Wipe Out" on the TV with the crew.
Overall,
we had a blast at the "Terry Peak House" and hope to go back again
sometime in the near future (ya know, a year from now.)
