How to not have fun skiing...

First:  pick a windy cool day

 Second:  take a two year old who doesn't want to ride in the sled.

Third:  Have two year old throw a fit and insist on pulling sled himself (without gloves)

 Fourth:  Actually go downhill in a sled.  Oh wait!  That was fun!  I guess all the misery was forgotten when we zoomed down the hills a few times.

I LOVE the Carousel

Tyler and I went to the Carousel for the first time yesterday.  He didn't want to leave, which was no surprise.  I had to bribe him with ice cream and the promise of more shopping.

(must be because he watched the Grammy's on TV)

Happy Valentine's Day!!

The last day we were in Billings, Tyler and I went on a little drive to visit my friend Rebecca, and then my friend Stephanie.  It was a blizzardy day, and we were happy to have arrived safely.  It was nice to get out of the hotel and into an actual home with a microwave.  Steph has a little boy named Riley who is 4 months older than Tyler, and they usually get along pretty well.   Their conversations are very enigmatic.

Tyler doing what he does best...wait for food.  Rebecca offered him a PB &J.

Her due date was yesterday!  Wish we were able to see the baby.

Tyler and Riley, they had a great time playing

Back at the hotel room--keeping him busy with a Charlie Brown painting project.

Our Road trip so far..

We packed up and headed out to Billings for an extra long weekend.  Shawn is at a conference, and Tyler and I are tagging along.

 Our first rest stop was at Wheat Montana.  I said "Tyler look at the tractors in the picture."  He looked at me, pointed at the picture and said "COMBINE."  I had no idea his 2 year old mind was separating out the different types of farm equipment.

 Then later we ate lunch and I went and got a cup of fancy coffee.  I can't wait for the rest of the fun that is going to happen on our adventure.
