We just got finished with our annual "Winter Break" from school and then had a "No-Snow Snow Day" and so I am officially hitting catch up mode. I was more than excited to have school back in session this week and resume normal activities, but I have to admit we had quite a bit of fun. It was nice to return to lazy sleep-in mornings, fun craft projects, lots of skiing, and other exciting things to do. I tried to come up with one major activity to do each day and then lots of small things. Luckily, two of my three children are home-bodies and are completely content to just hang out around the house {Miss M constantly wants to be off doing something}. Some of our fun activities included:
Monday- Skiing at the Dartmouth Skiway
Tuesday- Swimming at the Upper Valley Aquatic Center. M came to my cookie decorating RS activity
Wednesday- Montshire Museum with the Holbrook family.
Thursday- Skiing at the Dartmouth Skiway
Friday- Birthday party for Maddie/Movie Theater with the boys; Bowling with the Monteleone's.
Saturday- Skiing at the Dartmouth Skiway as a whole family {with daddy}.
I am going to highlight Monday in this post and then will do smaller versions for each of the other days, so I don't end up with a gigantic post with way lots of pictures.
Mr E nestled between my skis up the hill. I have really enjoyed teaching Eli how to ski this year. It is challenging and frustrating at times, but also incredibly rewarding.
Not to mention CHEAPER than paying for lessons
Maddie enjoyed hiking up the hill a bit to try her hand at jumping. She has gotten pretty comfortable on her skis and is such a risk taker in every aspect of her life
Maddie was upset that I didn't get one of her in actual mid-air during her jump.
I tried over and over again and blamed the sun light and an old camera for this.
{a new quality camera is on my bucket list of things I want post-grad school}
