Mid-winter break!!

This week the kids are out of school for mid-winter break and Matt took couple days off so we packed up and headed to the mountains for a little get-away! The Vendelins joined us again so the kids were extra excited to spend some time with friends! We stopped in Leavenworth for lunch and some play time in the snow. The kids were needing some fresh air for sure! Sadie still doesn't get the whole idea that snow is supposed to be fun. She just wants to be held!





The next day, we bundled up for another snow adventure. Last year we drove around for quite awhile looking for a good place to sled due to the lack of snow....but this year was much better. We found a great sledding hill at Wenatchee State Park. They spent most of the afternoon sledding and had a blast! We learned a couple things...Marshall and Ella have no fear, Ava doesn't like to go too fast, and Sadie would rather sit at home in front of the fire. We survived the experience with no injuries although Matt's backside is sore from falling while trying to use a sled as a snowboard. Wish I would have gotten a picture of that!








After a fun dinner in Leavenworth, the kids took a soak in the hot tub, had some ice cream, and crashed in bed so the grown-ups could relax!







We had a great time just relaxing with each other. I've officially seen enough snow this winter and am ready to move on!
