Things we love

We had a great weekend. Sean came home last week with tot skis for all the girls and we got to try those out on Saturday. Denali and Elsie LOVED it but it will take Sandia alittle more coaxing to try which is okay. We hope to be able to take little day trips all together with them on skis and Sean and I snow shoeing and from the looks of it we might actually have a shot at it in the next year or so. After that we made a snow man and then got ready to go downtown to the winter market where my friend Buzz was putting on a puppet show. The girls really enjoyed this. There was a puppet opera and then all sorts of bugs dancing and singing songs. Then they got to meet buzz and touch all the puppets. On Sunday morning we decided to do one of our favorite things...go to Seward. The girls were awake the whole time on our way down and did very well considering. When we got to Seward it was beautiful, warm and sunny. We went into the sealife center and got to see all our favs. Especially Woody the stellar sea lion. Sandia Loves him and could sit there for along time watching him just like mama. We snuck a sea lion stuffed animal out to suprise her for Christmas. For as beautiful as it was in Seward our drive back was white knuckles all the way. Anyone who drives that road knows its no fun at night in the winter but then add emense fog and rain to the slush and dark and its really no fun. Everyone was going about 45 miles the whole way, all lined up with no one rushing to pass. I think we were all happy to be following a set of red lights. Needless to say we made it back just fine and the girls slept the whole way so it was a very good trip afterall. We also got our girls their very own down blankets and everyone is sleeping like little beautiful logs. Now I guess we get ready for xmas. Yeeha!!
