So here is my pathetic attempt at remembering my long lost blog and trying to catch up on a whole winter's activities. Here it goes, lots of pics but short on words, remember a picture is worth a thousand words!

One of our most fun outings this winter was over Spring Break. My two brothers, Nate and Jer, came up to spend the week and go on our annual White Mountains trip with us. We also spent two fun days playing at the ice park.

Heading out for our three day ski/snowmachine trip into the White Mountains

Jeff and Jer would haul the gear to the cabins on the snowmachines and Nate and I would start skiing with the kids. Despite the colder temps then we would have liked, the girls did great and skied about 4-5 miles each day. The boys, of course, slept about 4-5 miles each day!

Our soon to be moose packers posing infront of Jeff's moose that has found an official spot on our wall.
