Presley Takes the Polar Bear Plunge

Presley decided to take the Polar Bear Plunge into the icy waters this year to raise money for Special Olympics on March 14th. She took the plunge with many of her classmates from Eagle Heights. She donated $75 of her own money to the cause. Fun event for a great cause!

Mom Travels to Breckenridge to Visit Her Friend Kim

Mom's pal Kim and her family recently moved to Breckenridge. We wanted to get the whole family to visit this year but with hockey schedules and Dad's travel schedule, a family visit wasn't possible. So Mom escaped for 3 days to spend some quality time with Kim and her family. Wow is Breckenridge beautiful! I can see why they moved here and why they want to stay. Mom experienced a little bit of everything while she was there. Hope we can visit them again next year!

A 10 mile hike from Breckinridge to Frisco (with a cute dog Eddie that followed us for the entire hike and some falls through the deep snow)...

Presley and Mom visit the Eden Prairie Ice Castle

This winter, they built a huge ice castle in Eden Prairie (1 of 4 built in the country this year). It has been on our list of places to visit but we didn't get there until the last weekend it was open (March 8th). It was a beautiful sunny day and a great day to visit. It's a huge castle filled with slides, mazes, caves, waterfalls, and even Olaf from Frozen. Presley and Mom had a blast. We ended our girls' date with a trip to a coffee shop for a latte and hot chocolate! Yum.

Oscar Party 2015

Trisha and some of her friends committed to seeing all the best picture nominees both in 2014 and 2015. This year, Trisha hosted an Oscar party with about 20 ladies (and Presley and two of her friends). It was a super fun night and maybe a new tradition. Here's Trisha with the two pals that sneak out to see all the movies!!

Peewee AA End of Season Highlights

Canyon's Eden Prairie hockey season is winding down for the 2014-15 season. He has had a good season with some great kids and great families. In February, there were two awesome activities that the boys really enjoyed. The first was the Brainerd weekend scrimmage weekend. Ron and Canyon headed to Brainerd where the boys enjoyed three fun games and lots of fun times in the waterpark.





In February, one of Canyon's teammates and his family hosted a 2-on-2 tournament for the team and the families on a beautiful winter day. The boys paired off in bracket play for some fun scrimmages. Canyon and his teammate Jake came in 2nd for the day. While the boys played, the parents enjoyed some great food and bonding inside. Super fun day for the team.
