A weekend up north

This past Thursday after Bible Study the girls and I made the trek up north to visit my parents for a few days. Overall, the weekend was good and we made lots of memories, but we're still recovering a bit from all of the sleep disturbances ...

Here's a few snapshots of our adventures:

We experienced a few days of playing in the snow again, after having been snow free for several weeks in Madison. Anna liked sledding by herself, and then being pulled around by Grandpa.

Kate liked eating snow.

Anna and Grandma showed each other a variety of voga poses. (Many of Anna's were of her own creation.)

Kate figured out how to look at the camera and say "cheese!"

In the absence of Matt, the girls decided to pile on top of Grandpa.

We all enjoyed the tasty food that Grandpa and Grandma provided for us.

Anna still likes cooking in the kitchen with Grandma.

It's a LONG, slushy walk up to the sugar shack for maple syrup making time.

Anna helped Kim collect some sap to be boiled down to make maple syrup.

Kate was pretty worn out by the time we were ready to leave.

I also learned that Anna can sleep in a full sized bed on overnights and that Kate needs to be trained out of the pack and play before our next overnight trip anywhere. We also learned that we need to be more aware and prepared on longer trips for a potty trained Kate who has a very tiny bladder ...

Now bring on spring ... PLEASE!
