What an awesome second day of the year!
Wasn't so sure how it would turn out this morning at 7:40am when my two and a half year old was screaming at me because he didn't want to get dressed, but in the end we made it and had fun to boot.
Even though it was Sunday we decided to join our friends on the mountain and enjoy the white powder. Because they live in D.C. Uncle Mikey and Aunt Christa don't get to spend as much time as any of us would like with the kids, so we have to take advantage of the times we get together the best we can. And because Uncle Chad and Aunt Nicole gifted us time at the snow-my effort to get Nicole to eventually teach me to ski and kick my booty actually to the snow, they were able to join us as well.
It was so great seeing my little guy sledding down the hill with such a huge grin on his face. To sit around the lodge enjoying hot chocolate and friendship was delightful. And best of all was feeling the love we all support each other with as we feel the frigid air flying past our faces.
Parker, my tough and tumble little girl, got her first trip down the hill on the sled at four months old. Can't say she was particularly impressed. She did look mighty adorable though in her new snow suit.
Afterwards we all joined up together at Calamity Jane's (one of my new favorite food stops) where we shared a wonderful meal of hamburgers. I got adventureous and went with the Hot Fudge Marshmallow Sundae, probably first and last time for that one, but it was "interesting." Quinn impressed a table of little athletes as he downed his Uncle Mikey's rootbeer milkshake.
Yep, definitely an awesome day out with friends and I sure hope this is a good sign for the year to come.
