Winter Fun

This has been a LONG winter, but we have tried to make the best of it.  In February, the week before we moved, we took the kids sledding at Baird Creek Park.  It was the largest hill I have ever went tubing on!  Elsa had a blast but Chet didn't know quite what to think and screamed the whole time.  They have a tow rope that pulls you to the top of the hill.  It proved to be quite the challenge as Aaron and I would each have one of the kids.  I would have to lay on the tube and have Elsa lay on top of me.  Trying to hold on to her and the rope provided quite the work out!  I ended up taking Chet into the Chalet since he was not enjoying the experience while Aaron took Elsa down some more times.  I wish I would have captured Aaron and Chet plowing into me as I was trying to get out of the tube.






Then, in March, when the weather was really cold, we decided to take the kids to a local hotel (Tundra Lodge) and use the water park.  It took about 20 minutes for Chet to decide he liked it.  He cried the first 20 minutes because of how noisy it was in there.  Once he got wet, he had a blast!  He loved this water fountain and the lazy river.  I almost got him to fall asleep on me when we were tubing on the river.







 Elsa LOVED the water slide and climbing the pirate ship!  Unfortunately, I only have this picture of her enjoying dippin dots!


Even though I love the snow, I have to say I am very excited for Summer!  I leave out spring because it seems as if we are going to skip that season this year.
