There has been a glorious break in the below zero weather we've been living with all winter, so we've been able to get the kids out for some outdoor activities in the last couple weekends (without danger of losing important things likes fingers and toes to frostbite).Last Saturday we watched my 13-year old cousin Gina take 1st place in the short and long programs at the Northland Skating Competition. She was absolutely amazing! After the competition, Grandma Candy, Grandpa Chuck and I took Olivia ice skating for her first time. She was very cautious, but started getting the hang of it really well!
We also went ice fishing with my whole family on Sunday and Olivia got to pull in our only catch of the day! The kids had a lot of fun!
And today Mark and I strapped on the cross country skiis and explored our property with the kids towed behind in the sled. Jonah even got to try out some kiddy skiis!
