Boyne Highlands!

Kyle's company did something awesome this year....they paid for a whole weekend of fun at Boyne Highlands! February is such a blah time of year, so it was such a nice surprise to get to go on a little adventure. We packed up the car and headed out after school that Friday, drove an uneventful 4 hours, and were there! Camden fell asleep towards the end of the ride since it was getting close to his bedtime, but of course got a second wind as soon as we arrived. We dropped our stuff off in our room, then headed to the game room for some fun and then to the restaurant for some late night snacks. Later that night, Kyle met up with some work buddies while I stayed back and slept with the boys.  We all slept pretty good that night (and slept in until almost 8am!), went to breakfast, and then headed out to explore the winter wonderland we were surrounded by!

Brett has no interest in skiing and Camden is obviously too young, so the big highlight was going to be tubing. We all bundled up and trekked the big trek across the vast ski areas to wear the tubing was to be. The tubing ended up being at the opposite end of where we were staying, but we sure had fun playing in the snow as we made our way there! And then, guess what? When we finally got there we were told it was closed due to the warmer temperatures (the tubes were getting stuck on the run). Ugh, just our luck! Fortunately, we were directed toward a big sledding hill that also had tubes you could use, so lots of fun was still ahead!

Brett was all smiles the whole day!

Camden loved checking out the big snow cat along the way!

There was lots to look at and the snow and fresh air was good for our spirits!

And it was well worth the hike to get to the big hill.....we all had a so much fun!!

Camden loved getting in and out of the tube....and Kyle couldn't resist adding his company sticker to his head (which later made the slideshow at his work!).

Hello down there!!!

Our view from the hill where were sledding. Such a beautiful place!

Camden and I went into this store to warm up and he found the perfect chair to sit in :-)

Me and my love!

After spending a few hours outside, I took Camden back to our room for a nap while the big boys had lunch and did some more exploring. Afterwards, I stayed back with Brett and Camden so Kyle could ski with his work friends for a few hours. During that time, we played games in the game room and ran around the lodge causing havoc....ha! Oh, and I also dragged the boys to lunch since I hadn't eaten yet and bribed the big one with ice cream!

That evening, Kyle's work hosted a huge, fancy buffet dinner for all the families. It's a very young company though so our boys were the only kids there and didn't last very long (dinner wasn't until 7pm). The food was so good but I had to eat fast! I then let Kyle stay and do his schmoozing while I took the boys to the lodge restaurant/bar for grilled cheese sandwiches and then to bed! Kyle came back to the room to help with bedtime and hang out for a bit and then met everyone for drinks afterwards. Kyle and I missed being able to hang out and socialize together (he gave me some time after skiing) but know our time will come when the boys are a little older (or we leave them with my parent's next year....pretty please, mom and dad!!) and we had a blast spending time together as a family. We enjoyed a yummy breakfast Sunday morning and then were on our way home.  Thanks for the wonderful weekend, Magnetic!!
