New Winter Activities

Since MN winter was going to be here in full force with the coldest day in 4 years I figured we better get outside and do something fun on Saturday. Maplewood Nature Center was a winter family fun day with snowshoeing and hot cocoa so my dad, Linnea and I headed over there. It was a short snowshoe around the little pond and Linnea made it halfway with her snowshoes on and then took them off to finish in her boots. There wasnt a high need for snowshoes but it was fun to try something different. The Nature Center has a very fun play area inside where we will go another day when we have more time to take advantage of it. We did stay for cocoa and Linnea got to see the animals get fed.

After naps at my parents house we headed to see GG on the blustery night.

We hadn't been there since Christmas since the dreaded flu was going around. She was certainly happy to see us!

Sunday we tried another "fun" new activity. Ice Skating in River Falls with Erik, Dylan and Papa. Linnea was so excited to go and enjoyed it for the most part but we have a LONG way to go before she skates on her own which is to be expected. She did like me pushing her along. We went around the UWRF rink probably 3 times. Smiling for most of it but she seems to just remember when she fell down and was crying really loud and hard. What a trooper though. Both kids were, but I think they enjoyed playing with Dylans toys, eating cookies and playing games on the phones and wrestling with papa and Erik back at the house more :)

weee!!

Harper enjoyed sleeping :)
