Impromptu Get-away

We had plans to go to Joe and Bobbi's house in Chippewa Saturday afternoon. Well, Friday afternoon Dan thought it would be fun to go to the waterpark in Eau Claire and stay overnight, heading to his bothers on Saturday. I was a little reluctant due to my very pregnant state, but I am glad we did. The kids had a blast. We stayed at the Metropolis, which has an indoor waterpark and a huge arcade connected. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from swimming, but here are a few from the arcade. Bumper cars and mini bowling were the highlights.

Snow Day!

Lauren's preschool was cancelled today due to the icy roads. I have been waiting all year for a snow day, there is just some excitement about them. Of course Lauren could care less, I had to explain to her why she didn't have school and she was worried about what she would miss! Luckily it was a very warm day so we headed outside during Luca's nap. We got a lot accomplished: snowman, snow fort, snow angels, sidewalks shoveled, and van vacuumed!

Skating

I took the girls ice skating for the first time, and they loved it! Ella did great on her double blades, and Lauren figured out her hockey skates pretty quickly. By the time we left, both were skating on their own. They are already begging to go back, and Lauren wants me to show her how fast I can go! Too bad my skates are still at my parents house... If that tells you how long it has been since I've been on the ice!
