Slack Line

My brothers came back from Texas and New Jersey - where they went for Christmas with their girlfriend (Curtie) and wife (Kevin). So we celebrated Christmas this morning - complete with Monkey Bread. This afternoon Curtie busted out his Slack Line. (It's a strap pulled tight which is attempted to walk across while it bounces and swings - Curtie's explanation) This was the first I'd heard of one of these and he set it up in our parent's front yard between the basketball hoop and pine tree. I have to say I felt a little like I was training for the circus. By the way, this is way harder than it looks. I think I finally managed 8 or 9 steps across it - Curtie said it took him a couple weeks to be able to walk across and back. I was pretty proud of myself ;) And, I'm quite certain our neighbors were thoroughly amused.


What's with the weather in the 50's at the end of December?? Where is our SNOW?? I even went up to Lake Ann to visit friends and there wasn't snow up there either! Bogus.
