Hola!
Happy February! We took a chance a week ago, and reserved 2 nights in New Hampshire near one of their ski resorts. It has been such a "wimpy snow" winter, we just didn't know if we could ski or not.
So it had been a week since they had had real snow, and then it was still only a couple of inches, so the answer for us was...not! You could hear the skiers: instead of "Whhhooosh" it was "scccccccrrraapppe" down the mountain. Ice, ice, ice! Of course, Teresa only saw skiers whose parents bought them lift tickets. We were the mean ones who said "Let's go tubing today instead!"
We did have a good time tubing. Here are some photos. They had a pull-ride to take you up the hill on one side, then you could tube down.
We also gave David a chance to drive us a couple of hours each way. FYI: Friday evening rush hour, driving north on Interstate 95 here is actual...driving...experience. I have said before that I lose a month off of my life every time I give him the keys...and he's not even a bad driver! I'm just nervous.
That weekend getaway came at the end of midterms, for David and Teresa. Nice to get those behind them!
During midterm week, Frank, Kara and I went to a place called "Cradles to Crayons," where they take donations of clothing, baby items, small furniture, toys, books, etc., sort and organize, and give them to children in the greater Boston area. It was SO well organized. We spent a 2-hour block with other members of our church congregation sorting kid clothes, while others put together packages of clothes sets and supplies for different ages of children. It was really cool.Ok, and here is our "February Birthday," since we do not actualy have a February birthday person in our house. Max, our rabbit, turned ONE. Kara made him a hat and we took pictures. I couldn't believe he wore the thing, and stayed still, long enough for a camera shoot! He's awesome.
All in all, a good couple of weeks! Now if we can shake the runny noses and coughs. Even with a mild winter, we did not escape those.
Frank has been in California this week--at the Disneyland Resort hotel, of all places! He says you can't imagine how many things in a hotel they can decorate with a Mickey Mouse silhouette.
Have a great week! Kari

Great tubing picture! How many times did you have to stand at the bottom of the hill and try to get that one? Fun times! (Love the rabbit hat!)
I need to take my kids tubing. As you may or may not know, Utah hasn't had much snow.
I, too am amazed that Max would hold still for pics! Way to go bunny!
The tubing looks so fun. A tether to keep you straight and safe looks perfect! Ah the driving......Neal hasn't driven in a city yet and when he does I'm sure I will feel the same way. Just the other day he had to yield on a green light before turning left and that is as exciting as it gets in Cardston.
