Saturday: outside

The plan was to rent some cross country skis and give it a try.  We got there right when they opened.  However, you apparently have to get in line before they opened.  When we got there they were at number 91 and we would have been 16.  It was our first time trying it out, and I didn't feel like waiting more than 15 minutes.  The plan pivoted right away and we went down the sledding hill a few times instead.

It was a good choice.  When we left, 30-45 minutes later, they were on number 3.  They were making decent time since each group was more than one person, but it was still going to be a long wait.  Since the boys aren't actually at school we can try some school day instead.

When we got home the boys entertained themselves, but in a slightly different way than normal.  Joshua was working on a Lego set.  (Ok, that's not all that different.)  Isaac was devouring a Minecraft book.  It's a tutorial Minecraft book with lots of pictures, but there are still plenty of words to read.  He usually doesn't sit down with a book (sadly), so I was a bit surprised.

Pigeon creek? I hope you are able to go before the snow is gone... so fun! I haven't been there this year but many times in years past!
