Spring has Sprung....

Yesterday was the first day of spring.... hmmm not really very springy here yet! Obviously my kids are getting ready to ride scooters and bikes again. Cole was getting so frusterated and kept saying "Help me with my scooter!" Then after freezing cold hands, he decided to give up. Poor little guy. So much for playing outside...

A Visit From Grandma and Grandpa Skinner

First off we went to the Iditarod... An annual dogsled race. It was fun to see and they even had a carnival going on... A bunch of kids in full on snow suits going on rides... we skipped out on that part.

Then off to the NORTH POLE to see where Santa lives. After a 6 hour drive we were so sad to see a CLOSED sign on the door. It was closed the two days we were there. But Cole didnt know any different so I made it exciting that we got to see his reindeer and the outside of the house.... Santa was on vacation!

Then we went to the ice park... they had slides made of ice, tunnels and mazes for the kids to climb through, and spinning saucers... VERY COOL! They also had lots of cool ice sculptures everywhere.... it was AMAZING!

Here is Aliyah peeking through a little ice tunnel. This girl wanted to walk and do everything there. Cole was the lazy one who rode on a little sled the whole time. It was a blast.
