2 fun weekends in a row

New helmets = Warm heads

So I do have a life outside of cloth diapering, lol! Hard to believe, I know.  A couple weekends ago, me, Mark and Collin went up to Michigan to go snowmobiling! We haven't made that trek in 3 years!! We brought Mark's parents along to watch Collin (no, he didn't go snowmobiling)--they were excited about all the Collin-time they were going to get! We stayed at a hotel that had an indoor pool--Collin loves to float around..usually while being held :)  The trails were beautiful! While we were up there, we bought actual snowmobile helmets. We had been using open-face helmets with goggles...cold!!!! The last morning we went out, we didn't see the temperature.  We have snow gear rated for negative 50 or more.  We were the only ones out..in fact, I think we made first tracks.  We had a great time..got a little chilly but not much...found out later it was negative 15 degrees!! Kind of glad we didn't know at the time:)  Collin enjoyed all his time with grandma and grandpa too!

He was fascinated with the luggage cart

So then this past weekend we attending the Indiana Farm Bureau's Young Farmer Convention in Indianapolis.  It's a convention for people, 35 and younger, who are farming or who have interest in anything farming related.  Well, my hubby's parents have their own farm and he aspires to one day have his own farm or take over theirs when they retire.  So we went down there and had a blast! Our expenses were paid, so that was cool! Collin and I hung out in the pool or played with other kiddos while Mark attended different sessions.  I did get to hear Chad Hymas speak..and wow...he had so many tough farmers and cowboys crying as he shared his story of how his family (in particular his kids) are the reason he was able to continue to make his dream of running an elk farm come true.  He's been paralyzed for 10 years after a 2000 pound bail of hay fell on his neck.  With his family's encouragement, he was able to find a way to make his dream come true.  Very inspiring.

We never leave home without toys and books

So those are our 2 weekends in a nutshell.  Lots of fun adventures for the Biehl family! And we have a ski trip in a couple weekends! Woo! Who says having a baby slows you down?!
