Going to the Wolf.........

Ava Grace has had her first skiing/tubing experience at Wolf Laurel!! She had a ball!! By the time the fun was over, she was exhausted and ready for a nap!! She played in the snow, ate the snow, and loved going down the mountains (more like hills) in the snow. It is amazing how the cold and wetness doesn't bother little children. After tubing, Ava Grace said that she wanted to bring everybody to "do that". During our day, we enjoyed the fire place while eating some snacks!! The warmth was wonderful!!

So, with all the fun and excitement of the day, I think another winter day is in our future, especially when we have access to the Wolf!

Trip to Jamaica

We had an awesome getaway to Jamaica during December!! It was a much needed vacation from all of the craziness of everyday life. Our days were spent out in the sun (70 degrees or so), out in the rain (very peaceful days), and hanging out with friends we met while there. We rented a cabana one day which may have been our favorite part of the entire trip. It rained the entire day, but since we were covered and poolside, we didn't care. The rented cabana came with butler service all day long (in which we enjoyed a fantastic lunch and beverages of choice) and a neck/back massage. It was fabulous!!! Our evenings were spent eating yummy food and then either singing karaoke, watching dancing contests, or sipping wine while talking with others. Everyone at the resort was very friendly all the time!! Tim and I thought (like many Americans) that people in Jamaica say "yeah, mon" all the time. Well, it is a fact....they say "mon" all the time!! I think the phrase we heard the most was "no problem, mon" and "yeah, mon". They have their own language too, but I can't remember what it is called as I could not understand any of it even after learning a couple of phrases. It was an amazing trip!!
