Day at the Snow

The last Saturday in February, Matt took the kids on a day trip to the snow with the young men in our ward. This worked out so nice since I had a volleyball tournament for young womens that morning. This was Nolan's first snow experience! I asked Matt to take loads of photos and he certainly got some good ones. I will share my favorites below.

Some of the other leaders brought their kids too, so Reagan and Nolan had playmates!

Nolan is all smiles!!

There was a jeep that the kids got pulled around in.
Here is Matt pulling the boys in the jeep.Reagan going down the hill on the sled.

The view from where they spent the day. It wasn't as far away as Tahoe, but still just as pretty, it looks like!


As for me, I seriously got an entire day to myself. After getting home from the tournament, I cleaned my entire house, top to bottom (which lasted less than 24 hours...sigh), then worked outside planting some shade plants and replacing dead salvia plants with some more daisy shrubs. I took my time scouting out Home Depot for our kitchen remodel (yes, we are remodeling it!) and also planning what the heck to do with our side yard (pics of that to come). A good day and my family made it home in time for dinner :)

Boomers

We spent a Saturday afternoon discovering Boomers Fun Center in Livermore. I can't believe we have lived here all these years and never been! Livermore sounds so far away, but it wasn't really that long of a drive! Matt found some coupons online and for $15, we got miniature golf, go karts and tons of arcade games. It was a total deal!

This was Reagan and Nolan's first experience with mini golf. It was a riot to watch them because as you know, golf can be pretty frustrating (think Happy Gilmore: "Are you too good for your home???") At one point, Nolan screeched at the top of his lungs in frustration and threw his golf club, narrowly missing the family behind us.



By the end of the game, they were just picking up their ball and placing it in the hole. All in all, though, a SUPER fun course!

Nolan was too short, but Matt and Reagan got to ride the go-karts. Here they are, anxiously waiting.....

And they are OFF!Coming round the bend. I think Reagan thought she was steering the whole time :)Super fun afternoon, we even got to hit up Arby's, which is a major favorite of Matt's. Although, someday there maybe one on Concord. They are, after all, building an In-N-Out here now!
