mountains, crayons & mountains

Got a chance to go to 'the moutain house' (rob & carol's mountain house) again a few weeks ago. Snowed about 7 or 8" while we were there... soooooooo amazing. We saw lot's and lot's of deer but no bear, thank goodness. Little side note. Griff calls it 'our mountain house' and even wrote a book about it at school! A boy with a dream.
Then last weekend we decided to take a little family get-away to the Poconos. We stopped off at the Crayola Factory on the way... the kids loved it. Then we spent the night at a hotel (after eating at two chain restaurants that day - yippee)! Seriously, we couldn't get enough of the cheap kids menus and free refills!! Woke up early on Sunday and headed to Camelback Mountain to go 'snow tubing'. Macy wasn't too thrilled with it - but the rest of us loved it. We'll definitley go back next year, and plan to ski too. Griffin is anxious to get some of those fancy tags that all the kids have hanging off their zippers! :)
