Back in February we went to see the Ice Castles with Becky's family. The kids thought that they were so cool. It was crazy to see these castles of ice that men spent hours making in the freezing cold winter nights. They were pretty incredible.
The kids loved stomping around in all of the ice slush, and going through all of the tunnels.
Emily enjoyed picking up the large pieces of ice off of the ground and showing them to everyone. Then she wondered why her hands were so cold. Of course she would not keep gloves on.
Matt and Steve started talking to one of the guys that made them, and he explained to process to us, lets just say that it does not sound very fun to be to have as a hobby.
They go out there at like three in the morning and build the castles with PVC pipe, then they stand out there all night spraying water on them.
We appreciate them doing it for our enjoyment.
This year for Valentines the girls got to hang out with Nana while I went to Instacare for the billionth time this year and Dad was at work. They had a Papa Murphys pizza party, and they also got a few surprises from the Nans of course to go along with it.
Who doesn't love starting off the new summer season with a new pair of shades?
As well as some springy pajamas, and a polka dot bikini.
Thanks again Nana for a wonderful Valentines, and "Peace Out" from two of your biggest fans.
She did such a great job again this year. I think that after a couple more times she will be better than me. I am not very good, so she probably already has me beet. 
She took another lesson, and had no qualms about being left with her snowboarding friends. She is growing up too fast. Matt and I actually got to leave the bunny hill and go on Majestic with our friends while she was busy for two hours. It was awesome. 
~ Until Next Year~
