Canyons!!


Thomas and I were pooped after a day skiing with the boys.  From now on, any moguls have to be skied with an instructor (not mom or dad)!!





With Daniele Levy



Cancelled flight on the way home results in an overnight in Minneapolis.  Here we are at Hell's Kitchen where we tried sausage bread and banana peanut butter.

We had a fun visit to the Science Museum of Minnesota, where the kids got to play on a news set complete with teleprompter

In Madison, we had cheese curds and brats for dinner.

Finally got  home at midnight on Sunday...
