Friday night skiing

Not even two left mittens can stop this kid from a fun night out skiing with her dad at Trollhaugen.

Decisions, decisions!

Apparently she chose the black diamond, Jumping Judy, and went down several times! I imagine her dad is pretty proud of her!

Sledding with friends 🛷

We spent the afternoon with friends (birthday party, pizza, sledding, and pie. The hill by their house went two directions – one way was steeper than the other, so the big kids built a jump on the steeper side, of course.

Tubing

Two of Shecklet #3’s classmates/friends/basketball teammates invited her to go tubing yesterday. The hill was about an hour drive from our house, but worth it to hear the giggles and see the smiles. I also got a much-needed catch-up conversation with one of the girls’ moms. Two hours of fun and fresh air made everyone hungry, so we had tacos at a local restaurant before driving home.

On the slopes ⛷ 🏂

Shecklet #2 went skiing for the third time in two weeks. Today, Shecklet #3 joined him and Jake, but instad of skiing, she chose to give snowboarding a try. She loved it! And unsurprisingly, made a friend while practicing on the bunny hill after her lesson.

Just like his dad ❄️

It wouldn’t be the start of the snowfall season without a photo of my son wearing flip flops and shorts to shovel the driveway so I could run an errand. Love this crazy kid!

Easter 2020

Mass together at home – joining our parish family virtually.

Brunch – egg bake, fruit smoothies and orange rolls.

Movie afternoon – Aunt Larissa joined us.

Jake grilled for dinner. Steaks and hotdogs because of course, it’s snowing!

Walvis the Whale

The Bartz brothers did it again! This year’s snow sculpture is an enormous whale. I took the Shecklets to see him on their day off today.

Afterwards, there was a request to stop at the Blue Sun Soda Shop, so I happily obliged. The $0.25 pinball machines were of particular interest. We may have to go back just to play a few more games sometime.
