Today at home it's super-cold - almost Montreal cold - which reminds me of the afternoon after we visited the Cider Press on our trip to Vermont. After a good lunch, the kids just wanted to play outside in the snow and they got a bonus playmate - the family in the condo next to ours had not one, not two, but THREE friendly dogs. Only one really wanted to play with the Sooy kids in the snow, though and the kids were happy to play with him, too!
After an hour or so, Daddy let us know that he would be done skiing at Stowe Mountain in a little while. So we got into the car and met up with Thom John, Grummy and Pop Pop (who had been cross-country skiing all day) and explored the resort at Stowe Mountain. We took a gondola from one part of the resort to another...
and we rented ice skates for Mommy, Daddy, and the kids!
It was slow-going at first but the kids were starting to kind of get the hang of skating towards the end of our time at the ice. Plus, after awhile the kids were getting pretty hungry - the cold will do that to you!
