Weekend Wrap-Up

 We've been filling our Christmas break with even more fun!


Friday we went bowling with cousins.  So fun.





These boys got a little squirrely by the end.  Mostly Kent- ha.



Then Kent, Kase and I loaded up and headed to Minnesota to meet our friends for a little getaway! Kael and Kylee both had plans that afternoon (Kylee went to the mall with her friend and Kael had plans with his girlfriend) so they were troopers and got up super early the next morning to drive and meet us all! I love that they didn't want to miss out on the Patter-hart adventures!



We played board games in the hotel lobby until dinner time and found a fun place to eat then played more games until late at night.  So much fun.


The next morning, Kael and Kylee drove straight to the slopes to meet us! None of my family had skied before besides Kase so we were all excited to try! I would say everyone did well.  Kent and Kael didn't LOVE, love it but still had fun with the group.  Kylee loved it way more than I thought she would!



These girls have been friends forever.  I just love them.



Kase is getting pretty good on the snow board!





Lunch break at the lodge.


We drug them away from the slopes to hit the mall! Kent and Kael had left earlier and met up with Mark and Cooper there.  They watched a little bit of the ISU and Broncos games and when us girls plus Kase got there we shopped for a bit.  Kase had one thing to say about the Mall of America, "I hate it here so much." Bahahaha! I don't blame him.  It was pretty busy and just....overstimulating I guess for him especially! Lucky for him we didn't stay long.


We did fit in a quick game! This place was so fun and we are always playing fun, competitive games with the Rineharts.  So our family vs theirs in a real life game show with real life host was pretty awesome! We had a blast and in the end we won!





The four middles (so everyone but Kael and Cooper) BEGGED to hit the slopes for a twilight run.  With a little convincing and shuffling of peoples and cars and snow gear- Kent took them back and they were SO happy.  I was thrilled for a little break to run back to the hotel and chill with Kael for a bit while Mark and Jess took Coop on a couple rides at the mall.


We had a late but really nice and super fun dinner all 10 of us together.  The whole crew was tired but happy and we finished the night with a few more games in our room before finally calling it for the weekend and going to bed! What a fun weekend full of memories.
