Playing in the snow

We went with friends to their mountain cabin this week. We had fun playing in the snow and relaxing in the cabin. S and J both tried skiing and loved it and we also got to go tubing down the big hill again.
 

 J tried skiing down the big hill two times, and then she decided she was ready for some hot chocolate.
 S went to ski school for the day and then wanted to ski everyday the rest of the week.
 The second day we were there it snowed so hard we didn't make it to the lifts. Instead we made a big hill with all the snow and sled down it.

 Eating snow is always a favorite,


 but cuddling by the fire is too.
 The last day we were in the mountains we went tubing. The girls remembered that we had done it last year and had been asking to tube again. 



We can't wait to come back again next year. Our silly face pose it becoming a favorite way to pose for pictures.

Idlewild

This last weekend we went for a drive to the mountain town of Idlewild. It was a perfect day for hiking. We found many treasures, like pine cones, sticks and rocks to play with. 
  
 We went to the ranger's station and learned about the animals found in the area. The girls enjoyed petting the snake and the bunny.
 Later we found a park that the girls enjoyed playing on. We had such an enjoyable day. We love finding new places to go to.



Our new favorite activity

Lucky for us our neighbors were getting rid of this trampoline. Our girls spend hours outside enjoying the trampoline.
