Ski Trip
Last weekend we went to Snowshoe Mountain in West Virginia with our good friends the Passalacquas. It was so much fun. The drive there was a bit rough. It was suppose to take us 5 and a half hours to get there, instead it took quite a bit longer. The problem was that once we got almost all the way up the mountain we hit a snow storm. Our car was slipping and sliding ever where and we had to turn around and go back down. Tim and Jessi went ahead and checked in, then unloaded their car to come get us. It was so nice to finally arrive safe and get all the kids settled. The next day the weather was cold, foggy and windy. We couldn't even see any of the mountain or even what the ski town looked like. The boys had ski lessons that day and did great. Chad and Tim were able to snowboard while Maya, Sophie, Jessi and I checked out the town and shopped. The next day was gorgeous. It was clear, sunny and in the 50's. The boys had ski lessons again, but those didn't go as well. The ski instructor called us to pick them up early. They were crying and scared that we left them there. Later that day we took the kids swimming in the indoor pool. The kids LOVED that the best. It was so nice to have something else to do other than outdoor stuff. Other than that we lounged around and went out to eat. Overall we had a great trip and can't wait to go back next year.

Swim lessons
Adam and Jack started swim lesson a couple of Saturdays ago. So far they seem to really like it. These lessons are only for 30 minutes on Saturdays for 5 weeks. I'm hoping when this is over to get them private lessons. I just really want them to learn to swim. We always go to the baby pool at the YMCA so this summer I think it would be fun to let them play in the big pool. We'll see...I get nervous watching all 3 at the same time.
Next up....spring soccer. I'd like to get Maya in something too since today was her last indoor soccer class. Maybe ballet? Karate? Gymnastics?
