We Milam men love our frequent visitors and Auntie JoJo is definitely at the top of the list . . . her visits are always fun, easy, connected and fun (yes, I said fun twice). Christmas or post-Christmas for the boys' birthday have been a staple since the boys were born and we went with the latter for 2015. Two big blog highlights to share from this year's visit . . .
First up, a fun filled kitchen dance party with the boys . . . some serious moves on display here:
Second great experience is uniquely PacNW . . . tubing! Being from Texas, we only knew of tubing on the water, but in Seattle and Canada, many of the smaller skiing mountains carve out land in the lower part of the mountain and create grooved lanes down the hill with a tow rope (or snow stairs) to climb back to the top. Heading down is as simple as grabbing an innertube, waiting in a short line and then heading downhill
The boys went into the activity with excitement . . . that is until they saw the mountain . . . they almost immediately transitioned from planned solo rides to many, many duo rides with Daddy or Pai. Noel finally got the courage to go solo on the last run of the day . . . Ethan opted instead to pass on the last couple of runs and enjoy warmth and hot chocolate inside the lodge.
Truly a big hit with everyone . . .

| As I type this last caption, I realize, "did we go the entire day with no pictures of Daddy?" I guess so ! |
Lastly, a couple of great action videos . . . up first, a duo run:
And, in closing, Noelly's solo run to close the day . . . so super proud of himself afterwards.
