A day to remember!

For Christmas this year Amber and I decided to take Grandma and Grandpa snow shoeing! It was a first for them and the Parish's!
It was a beautiful day. The trail was tricky in parts which added to the fun!

My mom might ask "WHY did you post those pictures?!"
Here is the reason:
She has the BEST attitude when it comes to facing challenges!
We were able to watch how Grandma's determination and positive attitude helped her to keep going! If she slipped, she got right back up, laughed, and kept going.  (She even decided it could count as exercise!)


You can tell your kids how important attitude and determination is but to actually SEE it in action makes all the difference! This day will not be forgotten!


Grandpa couldn't let Grandma have all the fun falling:)
I think all of us took a turn or two!
Everyone enjoyed hiking and playing in the snow. The kids were soaking wet by the end!
My parents have taught us well! :)

We finished with sliding down a hill... Grandma yelled all the way down 
"OH this is soo scary... but OH this is SOO FUN!!"
Amber knew just how to get the best start and Thomas and Nicki enjoyed catching some air...

 Thomas is our crazy man!!!

Thanks for all the wonderful memories! We will definitely do it again!
