A typical saying about living in the Pacific Northwest is
"Don't like the weather? Wait 5
minutes." And those words could not
have been truer than for the way Mother Nature was having us change our plans
this past weekend. We wanted to get our
girls into the fresh air, away from the screens of television and computer and
go for a little hike, but the one minute sunny/next minute showers was too much
of a deterrent. Oh well.
We're lucky in that we have a good space in our basement for
indoor games. We've had some intense
PingPong sessions however, foosball is becoming a new favorite for us so we
decided to look into classic foosball tables to add to our "play
room" downstairs.
There are so many activities you can do when you live in the
Pacific N.W. that we've begun to acquire all kinds of equipment. We have a corner for our camping equipment,
(which hasn't been used much lately because I have this "thing" for
running water and indoor plumbing ;->
) and swimming pool toys. Just the array
of pool floats rafts foam 2 inch can take up quite a bit of space. We have the remains of my Katie’s softball
playing days in another corner. A great
bat and an Easton Pro Series 11 3/4" infield baseball glove epg51bw which
she just had to have, yet now waits for her lonely in the corner. Someday the rain will subside and we'll get
back outside and throw the ball around.
Someday soon, we hope!
