We did not end up traveling over Christmas break, neither to NWI nor to an ISU Bowl game (we were hoping it would be in San Antonio, but it was in Orlando instead) so it was a LONG BREAK at home.
We did do several fun things like check out the pickle ball courts at Trio...
...try their pretzel bites and watch the football game...
...buying WICKED at watching in New Year's Eve...
...pics at church.
On Friday, January 3 we went to Seven Oaks in Boone to go snow tubing. You purchase tickets for a 2-hr slot. It was cold, but the sun was finally out and we didn't get too cold until the very end. We were outside from 12:30-3:15! It was refreshing!
In the warm lodge getting bundled up before we head out.
There were 4 slopes to pick from, some were single and some were double. You then get pulled up the hill with a pulley system - very nice since you only have to walk from the end of the slide to the bottom of the lift.
This was a pic of Avery going up the lift behind me - you went up backwards.
Once on the top, you got released into this little slide - Avery's favorite part!
After our 2-hr tubing slot was finished, we did a little shopping in Ames and ate at Hickory Park!
