last few weekends

Last weekend it was so cold we could really go outside... so we took Ben to a place called Boingz He had a blast jumping around on the indoor inflatables.

Again this weekend, it was just entirely too cold to do anything.. But ben needed some time to run off some energy. We took him out to Mahoney for an afternoon of tunnel play and ice skating. He did ok on the skates.. a lot of falling.. but figured he out - sorta.
He played through the tunnels by himself this time, usually we go with him - but the place was PACKED.. and the kids were crawling over each other like ants... so we sat today out.. and watched on the sidelines.

Sledding

Had a little snow last night -- I don't know who was more excited -- Ben or Pete.
First trip down - Ben didnt really want to go - "no no no it's too fast.... wheeeeee.. Let's do that again!!"
The girls had a good time chasing the sledders.
