A while back we took a long weekend to North Carolina with our friends Cyndi and George and their two children who are close in age to Benjamin and Josh. It is really rare for us to travel by plane so the kids were excited to be flying with their friends. This was shortly after the Hudson river landing so planning for our trip included lots of conversations with Benjamin about bird strikes. He was so engrossed with this so much that at the airport gift shop he picked out a toy plane, but not any plane. He purposefully picked the US Air plane because that's what Capt. Sully flies.
Our hopes were to have a very snowy weekend but unfortunately it wasn't to be. Our solution was to hit Tube World for some man made snow tubing. The kids were excited to play in the snow and barrel down the hill on their inner tubes.
My parents have been working on an addition to their mountain home and it was so nice to be able to put four kids in the bunkroom and it gave us a lot more space without tripping over Rokenbok or Lego's. Trust me this was a big deal.
During the day we took walks and did bonfires and roasted marshmallows at night. Despite the lack of snow it was a fun time and many lasting memories.
