First Time Skiing for Chris and Cade

Chris and Cade went skiing for the first time yesterday with the church youth group at Andes Tower Hills in Alexandria.  They had a lot of fun and came home without any broken bones!  After spending some time on the bunny hill, they got adventurous and went down bigger hills.  The weather was nice as it was around 30 degrees, but there were a LOT of people skiing because of the nice weather.  They got there around 2:00 and left around 8:00, so they both slept in this morning!  They are hoping to go again this winter season!

Blizzard Brings Tons of Snow...20"+!

The blizzard that came definitely dumped a LOT of snow...we had 20"+ of snow!  Chris is out blowing snow and has been for quite some time!  It's hard to blow snow when it is higher than the snowblower!  He will have his workout in for the day!  We are enjoying our snowday.  I think I'll make peanut butter cookies this afternoon!
