We try to escape to "Our Happy Place" any chance we get. While we didn't make it there for Christmas this year, we did plan ahead to make a trip in the off season to ski. We were expecting a ton of snow (like the trip we took in January) but instead were surprised by 60-70 degree temps! This wasn't a bad thing though, the resort was empty and it was pretty darn perfect!
We just love everything central Oregon has to offer and loved the opportunity to spend so much time outside playing! It was a wonderful little break in the cold to uplift the spirits and spend some great time together as a family (my parents came too).
We were able to take the big 4 ice skating on a perfect, warm evening.
This picture cracks me up. It was LB's very first time ice skating and this is how it started, but by the end of it she was zooming around the place pretty good! The best part of LB is that no matter what activity she is doing, she has a giant grin on her face the whole time! Her swim teacher even commented this week that she should be a cheerleader with that big grin!
The kids got to get on ski's one more time for this winter. They did awesome and are having so much fun with it! The weather was incredible with it being 65 degrees on the mountain. The boys did their first blue run with their Dad and Sabrina took another lesson but was cruising the green runs early on in the day! It is going to be super fun to have all these kids on skis for future trips!
We truly love any opportunity we get to just enjoy our time being a family. Life at home is so busy day to day that these little trips are so nice to unwind and just be present together! We hope that Central Oregon always holds a special place in our kids hearts, like it does ours! We will be back there before we know it!
