Heat Wave!

A beautiful weekend weather-wise in Iowa! We've earned this after last weekends polar vortex and -45! degree wind chill temps. On Saturday we headed over to Sleepy Hollow to enjoy the mid 30's tropical temps! We ended up being there from about 10:30-5:30. Would of stayed longer, but we were all (Mike!) getting hungry since we hadn't eaten since breakfast. 

Kids started out on skis. 

Stella really took to these and by the end of our day, she was going down hills, without falling, that even I was not brave enough to try. 


Getting off the rope lift.

Ready to conquer the bunny hill!

P ready for a wipeout! He actually did quite well for his first time on skis. 

After hitting the slopes we went snow tubing. What a blast! I have no pics, too busy zooming down the hills. Great fun!

Then the kids and Mike (I know my limits!) went snowboarding. Mike was a snowboarder back in his HS days. He was able to coach/give the kids lots of pointers. While Stella took to skiing, Porter took to snowboarding! Was fun to see them both progress as the day went on. It was our first time taking them out on skis/snowboard and they both want to go back soon. And we all enjoyed fresh air and sunshine! :)
