Mietzke's Holden Adventure

The girl’s class at school has been working on making a maze in the snow as a PE project. They have been out snowshoeing for the last two weeks and readying the trails for people to walk on. They have been creating spirals had hills and confusing twists and turns. Tonight was the Maze debut and the kids put candles all over the place in the maze. I had dish team so I had to come out after most people had already gone. Nyrie took me down and led me through and boy am I glad that I had a guide! I didn’t plan well and I forgot to bring a flashlight. Nyrie was leading and she took me through twists and turns and up turtle mountain (which had glowing eyes and overlooked the maze and is about five feet taller than all of the other parts of the maze). The trails had many holes in them from all the people who had done the maze before me and I must have looked a little like a drunken sailor falling here and there as I tried to follow agile Nyrie who maneuvered with grace and poise through to the end. Nyrie and I kept laughing at my inability to stay upright. We did finally reach the end and what an adventure it had been.
The night was very dark and the stars were our in droves twinkling and sparkling for all that they are worth. Nyrie and I headed up the hill afterwards knocking and jostling one another and laughing out right and chasing each other. As we came up the hill we both fell silent a beautiful sound was carrying across the snow. A flute was playing softly to accompany the stars. When we rounded the bend to our chalet we heard that the music was coming from our porch. Jordyn was playing music to the stars, sitting on a chair on the porch bundled up and looking so joyous! It sounded so pretty and warmed me all over that she was our serenading the stars just because. I have the best kids! Sometimes I feel so in love with them that I don’t even know what to do with myself. I love how deeply they experience everything and the joy that they bring to others. I am such a lucky mama!
