A Winter Weekend

We haven't done much lately because the weather has not been very cooperative here in Wisconsin.  The temps have been very low with wind chills in the negatives for many many days.  BUT, on Saturday we got lucky and it was kind of misty all day but  in the upper 20's with very little wind 

so we decided to layer up and hit the slopes.

I'm not talking about ski slopes. Oh no.  Much better.  The tube sledding slopes.

Preston and Raquel are bundled up and ready to go.

So is Hailey

  Here we are headed down from the parking lot.

 

 And there are the slopes.  

It doesnt look very big 

but if you look at the people standing in line at the bottom

you can get a better perspective

While we were inside getting our tickets, Preston and AJ were outside waiting.

 Then we were heading to the top.  A few crazy people took the stairs.  Not us though.

We laid on our tubes and grabbed on to the rope that pulled us to the top.

 Here was my bunch of family, waiting to come down.  See that nice man waving at me? 

People are sooo friendly here.  Okay, okay really he was telling me to get out of the darn way!

 Here comes AJ and Preston sideways.

 And backwards

 And sideways again at the bottom.

 And Kelly, Lisa and Raquel.  Raquellllll!

 There you are.

 Then we headed into the lodge. 

Close to the warm fire and the food.

 Ugg foggy lenses.

 

 Preston having some pretzel with nacho sauce

 And some blue taffy

 Then we headed back home.  The kids just couldnt get enough so 

Rocky pulled them in a sled we bought last week.

Then we went in, had dinner and celebrated Raquels Birthday.

She's six now.
