The hill slide

This is a very steep turfgrass hill that you can slide down. A lot of kids were sliding on cardboard but it's not really necessary. It kind of reminded me of sledding except on grass, not snow.

After riding down with Daddy, Avery tried it on her own.

Of course Paige wanted in on the fun too. However, there were a lot of bigger kids sliding down so Paige had the stick to the side.

What a silly face!

Just Paige...

California

Last weekend Adam and I went to California. He won this trip through a contest that Yamaha sponsored at his work. They sent us to the Supercross race in Anaheim. We were gone for three days without our girls. Although we misssed them very much, we did enjoy the freedom of being able to do whatever we wanted and not having to worry about feeding, diapering, pottying or putting them to bed! We flew out Friday morning and had part of Friday and Saturday morning to sight see. We rented a car and explored Downtown Disney (our hotel was a few blocks from Disneyland). Saturday we drove to Hollywood. Then Saturday night was the Supercross. I had never been to a Supercross but it was a lot of fun. The only thing that would have made it better is if it wasn't so cold! Here we are outside the Chinese theatre where all the celebrities put their hand and foot prints.

This is Adam with the Hollywood sign in the background.

Super Bowl Eve

The Super Bowl was in our neck of the woods this year and we seized the opportunity to go to the NFL Experience. Unfortunately, we had to go after Adam got off work so we were only there for a few hours but it was still a great time. The place was packed with Steelers fans. I was wearing my Steeler shirt but it was so cold I had to put my fleece jacket on. At least I could still sport the Terrible Towel. Here we are outside of Raymond James Stadium.

Watch him go!

NFL Experience

Here is the Vince Lombardi trophy. Yes, the actual trophy.

Adam had so much fun doing all of the games and activities.

Here he is kicking a field goal.

This is his second field goal attempt. He made both of them like a pro.

New bike

So I was driving home from running some erands on Saturday and I came across this bike at a yard sale for $2! I was so excited and it's just the right size for Avery. Adam took her to Walmart to pick out a helmet and she could not wait to ride it. She did really well.
