Recent Weekends, Part I

It is so strange to look at the snowy photos from 2 weeks ago, as today we can wear shorts versus the snow pants and boots seen below.  We actually were quite surprised by the amount of snow that came during our Twin Lakes getaway, and we definitely made the most of it.

Mehandis was distraught that we were going to go eat donuts before playing in the beautiful snow.  Imagine that... outdoor snow play over a morning meal of donuts.  He quickly got on his snow gear so he get a taste of winter fun before we left. 

The boys fit in 3 different sledding trips and our family created 3 snowmen.
Handi's creation
Abera and I helped assist (in either building or knocking down).
I take credit for decorating this guy.
Another adventure included a Jelly Belly tour, which is half an hour away from the house.  We all rode the train and kept our hair safely enclosed in the mandated hats.  It was pretty interesting actually.  Thankful that Abera enjoyed sitting on this train more than the Amtrak!

I too enjoyed taking time to sit and relax over the long weekend.  Nice.

Despite the chilly temperatures we took off "some" layers to take advantage of the hot tub.  Mehandis and Abera loved it.
One couldn't sense the enthusiasm in Handi at all here, right?
