after a fun day we headed back to the cabin for dinner. our plans for the evening included packing up for our trip home then heading to the top of the mountain at sunset... unfortunately it also included m1 throwing up. jd and nana took m2 and little man to the mountain top while i started packing up and doing the additional laundry that occurs when a child gets sick. luckily, the sickness subsided by morning and we were able to make the trip home without incident. wednesday around midnight little man started... jd was hit with the bug friday morning... and i was the last to go down during the night on friday. i don't know how m2 was spared ~ she was so sweet patting us each on the back asking if we were okay as we were telling her to please walk away. john david and the children were able to visit the zoo on saturday and enjoy the fresh air, while i slept the weekend away. on the bright side, no one missed any school!

winter break ~ now add snow
tuesday afternoon we went snow tubing... during our summer trips here we have "grass tubed" the same hill so the children we excited to see the difference snow makes. m2 was tall enough ~ and on tuesday it is half off so if she did not like it we did not lose too much ~ so she was able to join the family fun also. we were able to hook up to four tubes together so the first time down m2 went with john david and little man and m1 were connected to me. 
after a few runs down connected, little man and m1 wanted to go down on their own. of course, being competitive some racing ensued. i think i have mentioned this before, but we have some trash talking children: "you are going down mommy" "daddy i am going to crush your time" and my personal favorite, "bring it on big momma" ... seriously, where do they get this from ;-) 
little man and i were racing and i flew right past him... i took some pictures of myself to prove that i was there :) we had a great time! at the bottom of the hill there was a conveyor belt that you hopped on to ride back to the top. 
little man and i are hooked up to john david... the last few runs all four of us were hooked together. but i could not get a good picture of all of us together. 
hey, i am not blurry after all! my husband just looked over my shoulder and commented about how good this picture was, all while traveling quickly down the hill... i showed him the one from the water park yesterday in comparison taken while he was standing still. i think someone needs camera lessons! 
ps ~ m2 only lasted for one run ~ which was fine. at least i took a picture before she backed out! yesterday john david drove to charlottesville to pick up nana from jane's house; so m2 sat at the bottom of the hill and watched us slide away, while snuggled on the lap of her sweet nana!

winter break ~ just add water
massanutten water park 
it's crazy to be in a bathing suit and look up to see snow settling on the windows overhead! on monday of winter break we headed to the water park for a bit of fun. our family does water well ~ knee boarding, skiing, riding on the jet ski, swimming ~ so anytime water is involved we are all in. 
jd and m1 flying out of one of the larger water slides... m1's face is hidden by her feet.
m2 enjoyed the lazy river and the kiddie pool. i have no doubt she would have gone down the larger slides had there not been a height requirement. 
and just to prove i was there... someone (my husband) snapped this wonderful picture of m1 and i flying out of a ride. don't you just love the one great picture of the mommy?!?
