Tubing

Ice fishing

We headed up to Wapo for some ice fishing this afternoon.  The fishing started out slow but got good enough that Dad and Uncle Don stayed out. The kids and I did a little snowshoeing with Aunt Sue also. 

Grace with one of the first fish. 

It was so nice the kids could fish out of any hole without being in the fish house. 

Lucy with a fish. 

Making a snow angel. 

Of course Kirby got plenty of love too. 

More tubing fun

We met all of the older cousins at Badlands today and had a great time tubing. It was a lot of fun again and the kids loved all the hills we conquered today.

More of the group. 

Lucy playing in the snow. 

Making markers

The girls got a crayola marker maker from Santa and we tried it out this morning. They had fun picking what colors they were going to make and then naming the colors......melon, sea, juice. 

Snow tubing

We headed over to Badlands for some tubing today. It is fun to see the kids getting more confident with every run, it won't be long and we will be those parents that get to sit in the chalet....ok we might have a couple years yet, plus we like it just as much as them!

Snowshoeing

The girls and I headed to Willow River State park this afternoon and did some snowshoeing. We went a couple of miles and the girls did great!  

Christmas Day part 2

We had a great day at Grandma and Grandpas today.

Yes we added another sled.  When there's 8 of them waiting to go we had to get through it a little faster.
