We love Wintergreen!

This past Sunday we planned a day of snow tubing at Wintergreen without the kids so we could enjoy flying down The Plunge!  It was such a fun day!  The weather was perfection and the company was the best!


Here's an aerial view of The Plunge.  Yes, it was as fast as it looks!!

Looking beautiful all bundled up!



Jacob and me getting ready to ride down together.




The Plunge was just not enough excitement for these two.  They needed the thrill of the Zip Line before we left!




Brothers doing what boys do.  Getting ready for a breezy ride down the mountain!



WEEEEEEEE!!!

What a fabulous way to end the weekend!  We are looking forward to more adventures with these guys.  I can't wait until the kids are old enough to enjoy The Plunge with us!





Fly Eagles Fly

This past weekend went by way too fast because we were having SO much fun!  Jacob and I went on a weekend getaway up to Philly for the Eagles vs. Packers football game.  It was my first time at an NFL game and the first time either of us had ever seen the Eagles play.  I am not one who has ever enjoyed watching football on TV but being there in person makes it a whole different story.  I had the best time although it would have been a little better had it been just a bit warmer and if the Eagles had actually won the game.  Sitting outside for hours with a windchill around 11 degrees was as cold as it sounds!  Multiple cups of hot chocolate, my new Eagles snuggie, and lots of jumping around got me through with all of my toes still intact.  We will definetly be making this a yearly tradition!

Cheerleaders.  Let's Go EAGLES!



National Anthem.  That flag really does cover the entire field!



Jacob and me rocking our matching Eagles hats!



Of course we missed the kids like crazy but having some time with just the two of us was just what we needed!  Check out these cuties modeling their new Eagles gear!



Loves her Daddy so, of course, she's an Eagles fan!

Wintergreen wonderland

I had the pleasure of having winter break off with just my kids all to myself.  I really planned it right when I decided to only watch teacher's kids so I get all the days off that they do!  One of the highlights of our time together was a trip we made up to Wintergreen for some snow tubing.  It was the kids' first time trying it and the first time I had been since before Camryn was born.  We went with two of my favorite neighbors and their kids!  So much fun once Camryn got over her fear.  She is very hesitant about trying new things.  Dawson, on the other hand, was loving every minute of it!




Camryn cheesin' for the camera once she stopped fussing and started having FUN!



Mommy and her little snow bunnies!

Unfortunately, Jacob had to work and wasn't able to join us.  We're in the process of planning an adult tubing trip for later this month with some of our favorite people.  I can't wait to fly down the really big hills!!
