2016~2

Week 2 was full of adventures on all ends of the spectrum.  If you look below the kids have quite the crazy looks on their faces.

 This probably had to do with the fact their mothers took them swimming outside in January in Montana.  In our fairness we took them to the hot springs and the water was wonderful.  So wonderful that Mr. Mav, aka little man who refuses to sleep longer than two consecutive hours at a time, actually slept for 6 hours straight.  I'll now be going every night before bed time.

 Saturday we ventured up to the frozen tundra of West Yellowstone for their annual kids'n'snow day. The girls each brought a friend which was so fun for them and so not fun for us about two minutes outside of Ennis when we heard a non-stop chant of "paper, rock, scissors, shoot" for the rest of the drive.  I'm old because since when was "shoot" a part of the chant.

 Our first stop was Hebgen Lake where we learned how to ice fish from the bronze medal winner of the world champion ice fishing contest.  You didn't know there was a world champion ice fishing contest? Neither did I, but apparently it's a big deal. 

 Mav's thoughts on the matter resemble my own.  The girls lasted a good five minutes and were then off making snow angels while Chris and my dad tried unsuccessfully to catch a fish. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our next stop was West it's self where they had mini-snowmobiles, a giant sledding hill, and an ice skating rink.  Huntley's friend rode the snowmobiles once but other than that they played on the playground the entire time.  Grandpa felt bad for the kid-less pile of snow and tested it out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Today at church I got to teach the nursery class.  We only have one little girl in nursery so I brought Mav along with me and he thought he was pretty cool stuff.

 Or maybe that was just cause he was hanging out with dad who also snuck into nursery and helped himself to the snacks.

 Last of all this week before Grandpa and Grandma went home, Mav spent some quality time with Pa doing walking practice.  He's a big fan of doing squats instead, hence the extremely blurry pictures.  Chris and the girls are all voting he walks by his first birthday but I'm holding out until after 13 months.  Time will tell who is the winner.
