Last weekend, before the cold snap, we headed outdoors for some fun. Saturday we stopped at Target and picked-up some new sleds then drove to a nearby school that has an awesome sledding hill. We spent about 2 hours sledding. Hannah is fearless, she'll take a running leap and slide down head first. Maya took joy in making sled trains and Elias kept looking for steeper and steeper areas to go down the hill.
On Sunday Maya and Elias had their first cross country ski lessons. After an hour and a half Maya returned to the chalet and declared that she loved skiing and wanted to keep going. Elias hasn't found a sport yet that he doesn't like. I saw him fall numerous times but he kept getting back up and trying again.
While the other two were skiing, Hannah and I had some time together inside the chalet. Hannah worked on learning to write her name then we discussed what kind of cake she wants for her upcoming birthday. She wants a blueberry cake with pink strawberry frosting in the shape of a princess castle. Umm...I'll see what I can do.
This weekend it is supposed to warm up and drop some more snow on us. I'm going to pack a couple of sleds in the trunk so Hannah and I can go sledding during the ski lessons. I bought a thermos this week so we can have hot chocolate or cider after skiing/sledding.
Stay Warm!
