Victor Creek with the kiddos

The weather has been warm but we are finally getting ice to form at night, so we took the kids to Victor Creek to check it out and go on a hike. The kids loved the hike and the beautiful forests we  walked through. It was a lot of fun for all of us:)

One of the many little waterfalls that are on the trail

The waterfalls freeze, they are super fat down below in the canyon, so you can ice climb them. Heres where you can repel down one.

Life Updates

We have been having fun this year with all the indoor and outdoor activities to do.  The kiddos have begun ice climbing with us and are doing awesome at it! Lexi has taken up downhill skiing and rockin it! She also is very good at cross country skiing too! Mia and Madi are snowboarding and are kicking butt while rockin the hills on their boards! We have been busy indoor climbing too. Thanksgiving was relaxing and delicious with Nats homemade pie and Nics fabulous Turkey along with many other foods and the girls super cool holiday decoration ideas made the day complete.  After that we put up our tree and are all ready, presents and all, for Xmas! The girls had a fabulous bday party with dancing, music, climbing and tons of friends who all made the day spectacular! Merek is now crawling and loves giving natalie kisses, discovering new things, and playing. Our business is going great and picking up every month so life is grand! Here are some picks of moments;
