Ok, so i will start this post by saying that neither Corey nor i are exactly winter type people. However, the problem with that is we now live in MI and unless we want to be hermits for the next few months we're going to have to deal with it or better yet make the best of it. We got probably a little less than 18 inches this past weekend....we were planning Saturday to go downhill skiing with my dad but the road conditions did not permit that. We ended up going cross country skiing closer by. Though I will say that i am not sure the driving conditions were any better as it was pretty much a white-out most of the way....thankfully we were in an SUV. We left Micah with grandma and grandpa (Corey's parents). He actually stayed the night there Friday night as we had a staff Christmas party at church. This was his first overnighter and he did great and had lots of fun!!!!
Saturday am we woke up to this...it was really pretty!
We had a great day skiing and even enjoyed some hot chocolate by the fire in the lodge afterwards. We then braved the elements (literally) and headed to a local place for lunch. Corey had some BBQ brisket (one of his favorites) and I had a blackened salmon sandwich (ymmm...it was delicious!). We headed back to my dad's for dessert (dippin' dots) and for a quick wii game with the girls before heading back to pick up Micah.
Sunday afternoon we decided that we'd break Micah in for his first MI winter and take him sledding! We got him nice and bundled up and then took him out in the back yard and then to the church parking lot for his first sledding experience. He wasn't exactly sure what to think at first but I think he had fun. I'm sure next year he'll be a bit more into it.
beautiful!!! i miss playing in the snow! and i'm super jealous that you got to have a night without baby! i'm sure you enjoyed the night off :)
