Quite the hike

8 miles, 1,800+ feet of elevation gain, and two mountains summited. This time, just using their feet.

Carriage trails galore

17+ miles, over 1,000 feet of elevation gain, and one mountain summited. All on their bikes!

Snowshoeing

We finally got to snowshoe with the kids.

Winter Carnaval

Nap time

Disney On Ice

Last night we went to Disney On Ice. The kids loved it. 

Skater

Molly has become quite the skater recently. Wes would rather play on the giant snow pile. 

Snow day

Taking full advantage of the snow day.

Dinner!

With "Fred" pre-dinner. 

Windy hike

Recently we explored more of Acadia and hike Pemetic Mountain. It was a beautiful fall day with glorious colors on the trees. 

Oh, and a bit windy. 

After summiting we took shelter from the 40+ mph gusts and had some food. 

Halloween

Halloween 2016 is in the books. 

The kids each designed their own pumpkins. Wesley's is on top and Molly's is on the bottom (she drew hers while Wes told me what he wanted). 

Despite never having seen Star Wars, Wes wanted to go as Darry Vader. We've been making our way through the Harry Potter series so Molly wanted to be a witch. 

Soccer star

Wes started soccer practice today. It's a "learn the game" thing as opposed to playing on teams. 

Waiting patiently. 

Wes did an awesome job with all of the skills drills and had a blast.
