The Tubing Chute

Don Krumpos · Diary

We spent Christmas and Erin’s parent’s house in Powers, Michigan. Both of her sister’s families were there too, so it was a full house. The best part was seeing Arthur have so much fun with his cousins and his grandma, who is his most favorite person in the world. Opening presents was a highlight. Eric, Rachelle, and Erin and I went to Nadeau to walk around and have a drink at Toby’s tap. We did puzzles, ate a lot of food and played games. We built a tubing chute, as tradition dictates, but it was not as high as previous years due to lack of snow. The kids had a ball, and this was the first year Arthur was old enough to truly enjoy it. Mike and Lennea really enjoy having their whole family there, especially their grandsons.
