Birthday Party

Kirsten and Walker Robichaud were born Feb. 29, 2000 (Leap Day). Although they did not officially have a birthday this year, they celebrated their 7th birthday, Saturday, March 3 at 168 Tandberg Trail in Windham.

Along with their mom, Heidi, and sister, Jaycie, they hosted a sliding party with about 25 guests. The weather was perfect. The hill was steep and fast. A barricade was built at the bottom of the hill to prevent sledders from going onto the wet lake. Before the afternoon was over the barricade became a jump which sent several sledders airborne. No one was injured and everyone had fun! Some adults had more fun than the children.

Besides sliding and snowball fights, guests enjoyed a hillside fire and plenty of warm foods along with cake and ice cream. Several guests stayed for a sleepover as well. Kirsten and Walker would like to thank their guests for coming and for the great gifts they brought. A special thank you to Tracy Sweetsir for the wood she provided for the fire and to Mike Afthim for all of his hard work in making the perfect sledding hill!

Reminder

Remember, if you have any photos of old barns in Windham you might consider sharing them with the Windham Historical Society. Historian Kay Soldier is preparing an exhibit of photos of Windham barns, many of which have been taken down over the last few decades. Original photos will be returned after they have been scanned. E-mail Kay at kso@aol.com or drop her a note at 114 Tandberg Trail if you have information to share.
