Snow Fun In Willow Creek Part 2
Casey checked the time on her wristwatch, "You're right, Linda! It is time for dinner!" she exclaimed.
"Ooh! I can't wait to find out what Deborah made for dinner this evening!" Lenni exclaimed.
In Pine Hollow's dining room that evening, Rob turned to Lisa while Missis Reg was dishing out the rest of the hot chicken vegetable soup.
"Is everything ready for tonight?" Rob asked.
"Yep," Lisa said. "the moonlight sleigh ride is all arranged, be sure to dress as warmly as you can, once the sun goes down, the temperature drops fast!"
"Oh, one more thing, who's going to drive the sleigh?" Rob asked Lisa.
"Red is," Lisa replied. "nobody else here, with the exceptions of Max and Missis Reg, has worked with teams of horses as much as he has."
"I see," Rob said. "it all sounds great!"
"Yeah," Lisa said. "and when we get back, we're gonna have s'mores!"
That was when Linda got excited.
"I don't know what s'mores are," Linda exclaimed. "but I'll bet I'll like them!"
"Do you like chocolate, Linda?" Tina asked.
"Only a whole lot! Who doesn't like chocolate?" Linda answered Tina.
"What about graham crackers, do you like graham crackers?" Stevie asked Linda.
"They're my snack of choice," Linda answered Stevie. "my mom never lets me snack on sweets in the middle of the day or take sweets to school for kindergarten snack time."
"What about marshmellows, do you like marshmallows?" Carole asked Linda.
"I rarely have them, but, yes," Linda answered Carole. "I like marshmallows."
"Well, when you put marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate together," Lisa explained to Linda. "then, you've got a s'more."
"Wow, s'mores sound yummy! I can't wait to make them!" Linda exclaimed.
"You won't have to wait," Deborah told Linda. "because you will be staying here with Grandma Jenkins, Missis Reg, Max, and me while the others go on their sleigh ride."
"I would love that!" Linda exclaimed.
Rob looked at the clock, "We'd better finish our food if we want to be on time for our sleigh ride!" he exclaimed.
"Don't be in too big of a hurry, Mister Baker." Missis Reg said.
"That's right," Max agreed firmly. "you should really chew your food and chew it well."
Rob looked confused, "How do you chew soup?" he asked.
