We did two fun things this past week. First, we took the girls for their first trip to the snow. Marea promptly made the snow angel she had been talking about so much. And she threw a few snowballs and took a ride on the sled. Evie was happy to sit and eat snow until her hands started to freeze. They enjoyed it for about half an hour before deciding it was a lot of work to walk through the snow, and it was cold. So we headed to the lodge for lunch and enjoyed the snow from the window. It worked out well.
Then we headed out for a boat trip with Grandma and Grandpa Craig. The girls were so good about wearing their life jackets! Evie loved to watch the whitewater coming off the engines. Marea happily followed her grandmother all over the boat, checking out her bunk, ringing the bell, sitting on the bow talking about the sea. We ran into a huge pod of dolphins who entertained us for about half an hour. Evie loved the 'fishies'. It was special.
And we also had Grandma and Grandpa Frost, and Great-Grandma Irene, over for dinner that night. We chowed on ribs and pineapple upside-down cake. It turned out to be a great weekend.
