Here he is with a perfect snowball.
RoRo was showing off the slide they made over Christmas break.
Scout got really good on it the next day with some creative and sweet moves.
This was when I made Scout finally come in! He would have stayed out all night if I would have let him.
Sissy wasn’t as big on the snow. But mostly because she wouldn’t keep her gloves on, and her little hands would freeze

Ice Castles
There is a guy in Midway that creates these fantastic Ice Castles. So the first night, we went to check them out.
Apparently, these get to be over 40 feet high by the end of the season!
Here are our hosts with the most!
(Scummy AKA “heastest with the leastest” you should call these guys up and take a few notes!)
My favorite part of the trip was getting out a new hat for the kids each day.
Especially the rainbow one for Scout, since it is the one I grew up wearing!
But nothing topped this hat — it was a recent buy that is going in the ski bag forever!

IGLOO
Micah and Jay worked on this igloo for two days.
They came in starving every day, and were so proud of themselves.
This is towards the end of the first day.
By the middle of the second day, Micah and Jay had fully completed this beauty!
The kids were loving it.
So just when we thought the boys were all done, they decided to build a slide with a set of stairs on the side of the igloo.
It turned out awesome, and we were so excited to spend our full last day in Midway on the sweet new snow amusement park.
We had a good sleep, and woke up to sunny skies the next morning. We thought it was perfect for our day….until Micah yelled….”Dude — our things gone!” We didn’t know what he was talking about, until we looked in the same direction he was.
And this is what we saw:
Can you believe it….it just disappeared! Apparently the weather forecast was WAY off because it wasn’t freezing by any means.
No biggie….we still had the slide that the kids payed on a bit.
Check out those sweet stairs — nice precision Jay.
Another sweet move by Stinky!

Another victim of the sun was the snowman on the porch. Another holdover from Christmas, and it was literally the best looking snowman I have ever laid eyes on.
This was pre-decapitation from the sun.
And post.
I looked out, and this is what I constantly saw Icka doing…..eating the snow. This time she was trying to take a love bite.
I guess RoRo is a little protective of his snowman!
So instead of the winter wonderland, Micah took the kids sledding behind him instead.
Scout was in love….Icka was in hate!
We finally ended our last night with some good old fashioned wrestling. My kids do this with their dad every night at home, so they were so excited to be doing it after a four day drought.
The spinner is always a hit.
Look at this happy and warm girl!
Belly showed up for the last two days, and we had SO much fun with her.

Amongst the other stuff, we did TONS of REALLY GOOD eating. I mean REALLY GOOD — homemade ice cream, gourmet tacos, pork tenderloin with coconut rice, Micah’s famous fried rice, Brit’s delish cake, buffalo chicken picks, huge breakfast with caramel syrup, snackies galore, etc….
We also hung out later than adults should, and just laughed.
We also met a potential suitor for Tristen — thumbs up.
And for the best part…..
we also went skiing.
It was nostalgic, a workout, and a really fun afternoon with the Shmickity Dickity — the best boy in town!
Because have you ever seen anyone rock white sunglasses the way my husband does?
(Babe, you and HeMan can never be let out on your own again!)
