Valentine's Day

Our Valentine's Day was a lot of fun! We got a pretty early start and went into the city to look at some wedding rings for McGee, but we struck out there. All of the places we saw online were supposed to open at 9am or 10am, but they lied... I think they just decided not to open that day... Maybe because it was too cold? It was FREEZING, so I can't say I blame them. We were so darn cold when we were walking around. But, all was not lost because we'd planned a bowling trip to this cool bowling alley in the city. So, we went there and bowled a few games, and it was our first time bowling together!! We had so much fun. And McGee won the first game (by a lot...) and I won the 2nd game (by not as much...), so we're going to have to play again soon for a tiebreaker! :)

Here's McGee bowling!!  The bowling alley had a very cool vibe. And they brought food and drinks to you a your lane! We each had a beer and we split some pretzel bites. 

They had a Valentine's Day theme to all of their screens! 

We had a very specific time that we had to make sure we had left the bowling alley by, because we had prospective buyers coming by to see our rental house. So, we had to make sure we were home to let them in and that we had Guinness crated. We thought it was kinda rude for them to come by on Valentine's Day, so we decided to make them feel as awkward as possible by lighting a bunch of candles and we found an awkward romantic movie (Titanic) on TV that we had playing while they showed up. I'm not sure if our strategy worked or if they just hated the house, but they were only here for about 1 minute.

After they left, we decided to take Guinness out to the yard to play with him. It was SOOOO dangerous in our yard! We were sliding around like crazy. We had a bit of snow, but that was on top of solid ice. Our backyard has just been a HUGE block of ice for a week or two (so we haven't been playing out there at all), but then we finally got some snow so we thought that might make it a bit better... but nope. All it did was hide the danger a bit. So, we played out there for a little while, and luckily none of us got hurt! I took a video of our playing back there, which just includes a lot of laughing and sliding around, but unfortunately it's too large to upload to this site... I guess I should've kept it shorter!  I did upload it to YouTube though (it's my first time doing that!), so you should be able to find it here: http://youtu.be/Oe3xRdNuY44

McGee and Guinness! It was still snowing at this point... 

I tried to get a good picture of the solid block of ice below the snow... 

McGee looking exhausted... And Guinness is sliding around in the background. 

Our poor pup was really sliding around like crazy. He had trouble keeping all 4 of his legs under control.

Last night we got a lot of snow though (at least 5 inches I'd say), so today we could really play in the yard without sliding all over.

He's burying his tennis ball... 

You can kinda tell how deep the snow is! 

We always joke that he's our Scarface puppy whenever he has snow all over his face. 

I hope you're all much warmer than we've been here!!
