My heart leaps for JOY and I will give thanks to him in a new song... Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for JOY.

Our first and last Snowmobile trip of the season.
We went away for the weekend; traveling to Winter, WI (of all places) with some of our most favorite friends, Sid and Jordi. The four of us put on 200 miles on Saturday and part of Sunday. It. Was. Fun.

A great day for a SKATE | PARTY!
On a cold January Saturday, we decided to throw together a quick ice skating party. We all got out and participated...some for the first time in a long time. There were good and there were a few rusty; some better than others. One thing is for sure, fun was had by all.

Snow Tubing
On a sunny February Saturday we took a 45min. drive to The Badlands in Hudson for a whole day of snow tubing. We were joined by our good Williams' friends, Mike and Amy and there two boys Andrew and Trace. There were 6 hills making it hours of endless entertainment! I can honestly say I experienced high anxiety for the majority of our adventure. My boys (all of them) were serious sledding maniacs! I participated with caution, preferring that we all stay on the "bunny hills". Like usual I was out voted! Blane and Ryder were my inspiration, they absolutely loved it! After facing my fear of heights; I had the time of my life, it was awesome! We are hoping to go again before spring. Let us know if you would like to join:)
 |
| Going to get our tubes. |
 |
| Tate is sure he got the 'fastest' tube. |
 |
| The kids were nine miles ahead of the adults all day long! |
 |
| Blane. |
 |
| The BIG hill. |
 |
| Pulled up by ropes. |
 |
| The sign says it all. |
 |
| Avery is not scared one bit...he's been on this one "like 100 times" |
 |
| And he's off. |
 |
| A beautiful view! |
 |
| Ryder and me on the "turbo tube" |

Hope you enjoyed a glimpse of winter, as we LOVE it!
Blessings to you and yours in this sesason, praying that it brings much JOY to your heart.
Be back soon.
