Snowmobiling '09

An impromptu trip down to Grammy and Papa Ron's landed my boys a weekend full of fun. We had to listen to Tyler talk about doing double back flips on the snowmobiles the entire 6 hours to California. OK maybe he took a little nap but the kid seriously thought that he was going to get to ride the snowmobiles by himself and do tricks on them. (Thanks to him and Dad watching the X Games on TV!) All I got to do this extremely fun weekend was sit in the truck and read my book. Doctor said that a wild ride in the snow at 27 weeks wasn't a wise idea. I enjoyed watching my boys though. They sure were cool dudes!

We had two beautiful sunny days at the mountain

On their first trip out they were gone for over four hours. When they finally got back Ty was asleep and they were all almost out of gas. Steve said that Ty was ready to come back about two hours out but with a couple of tumbles off the machines into the deep snow and a wrong turn their trip back took quite a while. It was good to know that he wanted to come back and see his Mommy after his exciting day.

Tyler had a blast on day 2 on the mountain. It was just him, Daddy, and Papa Ron on the fast machines and they were only gone two hours but probably averaged 90 mph the entire time. They were all smiles when they returned.

This is Pixie, Grammy's new puppy. They found out after adopting her that she is blind. Tyler fell in love and wouldn't leave the poor little thing alone the entire time we were there. He even convinced Grammy to let her come up to the mountain.
