Jan. 31, 2015 - Cross Country Skiing and Some Hockey

It was a pretty nice day for the end of January so Dan got out the skis and boots and took the kids cross country skiing in our yard.  This is the great thing of having 1.5 acres, we don't have to go anywhere to ski, just out the back door.  All the kids had a pretty good time making the loop which included a little bit of a hill past the deck.  I'm not sure how many loops they took but they were out there for awhile.

Such form!

Getting ready to go downhill

Sawyer decided to go up the hill this time.

I think we need to get this kid on a bigger hill!

 
Later that evening we headed over to Hobbs for the UWEC/Stout hockey game.  The kids and I had never been to a hockey game so there was a lot to learn as we watched.  Dan had some friends growing up who played hockey so he was filling us in on some of the rules.  We had a lot of fun.  Hockey moves so quickly and it's quite the sight to have guys smashed up against the glass in front of you.  Next time we go, we'll have to go with some friends who really know hockey and we'll get there early enough so we aren't sitting up by the ceiling with support beams blocking half the ice.  Although Sawyer found the beams to be a good place to sit.
