The stars aligned and our long time planned "winter" weekend at Pearl Lake actually had snow and allowed us to do all of the fun winter things we had hoped!
These pictures always crack me up --- the boys are getting pretty good at getting dressed to go outside - but it is always a chore!
They both like to lay down like a rag doll when it is time to put socks or boots on - not very helpful!
When your mittens go up to your elbows - they go on BEFORE your coat!
Looks like he is struggling here, but really just working to stand back up with Grammy's help.
Patrick and I cross country skied around the lake --- it was awesome!
The boys got to try out the sleds with Grammy and Buppa - lets just say they lapped us a few times!
This was Isaac's first time on a sled and he loved it!
Patrick kept talking about ice fishing - so Jimmy found their poles in the boat house and attempted to fish as well.
Keep in mind there was no hole and the rods have a fake plastic fish on the end!
But how adorable is this?!?
Lord Helmet ---
These awesome sleds made it another year --- I think we decided that they are at least 35 years old and still going strong!
I love this photo - James is patiently waiting to get pulled behind the snowmobile. We used to do this as kids and it is awesome because you have steering control on the sled.
James loved it!
Jake, Amy, Patrick and I went out for a trail ride and ended up at the Trading Post.
So photogenic - even in helmets!
The boys were so happy when the Hebels arrived and did their best to entertain Allie any chance they got. I don't think I have said "give her some space" more in a 12 hour period -
but she didn't seem to mind!
These 3 thought they were pretty cool sitting at the big kid table...
And Abram got in on the "dunker" action too.
yummm - dunkers!
We are working on cups with no lids (and obviously you need the lid off to dunk your cookie.
I think at home we are 3 for 3 on spills - but he managed okay at the cottage.
Sunday was SUNNY!
Lots of running and exploring on the ice for everyone!
Isaac got his turn on the sled as well and did an awesome job weaving back and forth.
He didn't want to stop.
Look at this snow bunny --- so cute!
Abram had fun too - even if this picture would say otherwise.
But still really cute!
Abram's turn!!!
Amy took advantage of the open space to drive the snowmobile --- Jake thought it was fantastic to be the rider!
And look at this little sweetheart ---- she is on the move!
Group photo!
It was an awesome weekend - but looking forward to some summer fun with these guys in a few months too!
