Fun in the Snow!


This weekend was beautiful out! It reached a high of -3C° (26°F) and low of -6°C (21°F). Absolutely gorgeous! I heard that MN didn't have the nicest weather this weekend and was dumped on with lots of snow! Many people think we live in the tundra, but our temps are only a few degrees warmer or cooler then Minnesota's. No worries, we will be hit with the snow today and tomorrow! Our weekend adventures outside included snowmobiling and going on a sleigh ride.

We went with Trevor's family and a few of their friends from church on a sleigh ride. It took place in the woods, about a mile from our house. The gentleman with the horses owns about 6 of these draft horses. We took an hour sleigh ride through the woods and then enjoyed a chili supper in the cozy cabin. The cabin was absolutely beautiful! It was tucked in the middle of the woods with a fireplace. This gave us ideas on what we could build on our property for a guest house. Here are pictures from our sleigh ride:

At the end of our weekend, late Sunday night, we had three baby chicks hatch. We were suprised with their early arrivial (due to hatch today), but they are doing well! We still have 12 more eggs due to hatch thru the week.


If you look at the back of the incubator, this was our first chick to hatch. He just broke out of the shell, exhuasted from all the hard work of hatching!
