White Martin Luther King Jr. Day

It didn't snow on December 25th, so we didn't have a "White Christmas". But it did snow on January 19th, so we had a "White Martin Luther King Jr. Day". (I just wanted to explain the blog title so as to avoid any racial confusion.)
Laura had the day off school for the holiday, so it was almost like a wasted snow day, but we all had fun anyway. I had to work all day, but around 4:30pm we went outside to take some pictures and have a little snow ball fight.
(.... I might have gotten into the snowball fight a little too much...)
Kinzie loved the snow!
After playing for a little while, we drove down to Pop-pop and Gigi's for dinner in Anne Arundel County... shocked to find that they didn't see a single snow flake all day!

Tuesday evening Kinzie had her weekly gymnastics class and this week the parents were invited to watch.
They started with some stretches.
They also did a few other mild exercises on the mats.
Then came the trampoline...
It is a long, rectangular trampoline that the girls jump on from one side to the other.
Then they moved over the balance beam, but it was hard to get photos because the instructor was guiding the girls away from the line and towards to the wall.
Mackinzie ended the evening by doing tumbles along the long floor mat.

....
I spent some time yesterday afternoon at Continental Arms unleashing hell on this target with my good friend Justin and his 40 caliber Glock 22.
... See, daddy can have fun too!
