Adventures in the Snow

We've been enjoying the winter weather up here lately. This weekend my little sister came up from Provo to visit and we all went ice skating. I'd forgotten how much I LOVE ice skating. I think that maybe I missed my true vocation in life... even though I don't know if I'd ever have the guts to pull of one of those triple toe axle thingys. We just put Asher in his umbrella stroller and pushed him around the ice. He really seemed to enjoy it, even though I think one time he got dizzy and it was WAY past his bedtime. We are excited because they just flooded the park by our house and are going to let people start skating on it soon. I think it is free! Well, I guess you have to rent skates.






Then Monday was my mother-in-law's b-day and all of Jon's family went cross-country skiing/snowshoeing. It was a beautiful day and was really warm. Asher and his cousin River were all bundled up and rode behind us in inner tubes. We took turns pulling them and both of them were snug and happy bugs. Don't let Asher's face throw you off, he enjoyed it more than his expression suggests! The sun was in his eyes.




Surprisingly Asher took a nap for most of the ride-- I guess the excitement was just too much for him!

How fun! I love ice skating. I wish there was a place around here to go.

Ruth says they flood a space near the law school and just leave ice skates out in a box for people to use. So you could go to Massachusetts to visit her and skip paying for the skate rental!

I love the photo of Asher asleep in the tube.
