Our big adventure when my Dad was in town was to head to Perfect North Slopes, about 45 minutes away from us in Indiana. In addition to adding another state to the list of places my girls have been to, we had a blast.

It never broke 30 degrees all day. It was cloudy, cold and windy with temps around 27 degrees, but that didn't slow us down. We had shopped the day before to get Dad and Melissa outfitted for winter and we were all well dressed for the cold. The temperatures actually didn't bother us at all.

My girls are adventurers and this was a great day for them. Those hills move FAST! I can't even begin to guess how fast you move down those slopes, but it is quick. 

We took turns riding down by ourselves, and all sorts of combinations of riders holding on to each other. By the end of the day, the bravest of the group (not me) were going down on their bellies. We went down over and over again. Riding the Magic Carpet back up to the top each time, was just as fun as the trips down.

We tubed for a couple of hours, then went into the lodge to get hot chocolate and a snack, after that we headed back out for a few more hours of fun,

Tommy lost his wedding ring somewhere in all the fun. Cold hands and gloves coming on and off is a bad situation for your rings. I have called them every few days in hopes it will turn up.

It's  not the mountains of Colorado, but it is close to home and such a fun way to spend a day. The only complaint was that we didn't get them over to the other side of the mountain to try skiing. I guess we will be headed back for that.
