We had a beautiful day for skiing today and spent the day just having fun on the slopes. At the end of the day, the girls decided they wanted to go tubing as well, so off we went....

This tubing run is nice because you get pulled up the hill rather than having to pull your tube up the hill.... Plus they have these big tubes that hold lots of people so we could all go down together. Here we are being pulled up the hill.







Here we are about to head down the hill. The pictures of us actually going down the hill didn't come out so well - just a big blur. It must be because the girls always wanted to spin going down the hill. Mom had enough after about 5 runs! :)

We are enjoying our ski trip. The weather hasn't been the greatest, but overall it has been a good trip.




I must say this is what I do miss about PA - besides being able to ski whenever we wanted, you really don't get scenery like this in Florida. And you certainly don't get picturesque little farms with stone houses and cool barns like you see in these pictures down in FL either....





















Katie loves to hit all the ski jumps - you can see she caught some good air on this one!

















After skiing, we found this very interesting science museum. Here you can see the girls doing a weather forecast - although it looks like "karate weather"?????




Here they are doing their best Jim Cantore out in the middle of a hurricane.

Got tired of seeing my kids in front of the big guitar on the blog, so we decided to set off on another adventure!

We started by spending the night at the Kreilings. Unfortunately, Uncle Walter wouldn't let his family join us on our adventures, but here is a picture of the cousins having fun together.








We then headed to Pennsylvania to enjoy some skiing. Monday was a beautiful day of skiing, but Tuesday brought rain, so we took a side trip to Gettysburg. Here are the girls at the Lincoln Speech Memorial and the Soldiers' National Monument. It is hard to imagine so much blood-shed in just three days...
















Back to the slopes tomorrow! Maddy and Katie are decked out in their ski outfits.
