it's no secret that winter isn't our favorite season...it's freezing. and most times we just feel trapped inside, waiting for spring to get here. thankfully, this winter hasn't been too bad (so far) and we've been able to enjoy it. we notice how pretty the snow is. kyle got a new pair of winter boots. i think wisconsin is starting to grow on us :)so, in an attempt to actually enjoy winter, ellery joined kyle and i on a little date. we went to alterra for coffee and lunch. and we got to talk and relax. instead of bounce ellery on the ball, while we're half asleep trying to carry a conversation. it was nice. then we grabbed our hot drinks and went for a stroll. though a lot of the sidewalks & trails were still covered in a bit of snow, we just pushed through (and got a workout in the meantime!)
peek-a-boo!!
the alterra we went to is right by the lake, so we got to take in a beautiful view of frozen lake michigan, as well as downtown milwaukee. we watched families sledding & got excited to take e out sledding one day. it really was a pretty day. and just as we were heading back, e let out some cries letting us know she was ready to go!
(side note - on our way back, we got stuck on a trail that we thought led back to where we parked. nope it didn't. that's when e started to cry. so we found some stairs that lead us to the parking lot. and they were blocked off.... so we took e's car seat out of the stroller, kyle carried her & i took the stroller as we climbed over the rope, down the stairs and back to our car. that definitely added to our workout, but we made it back, safe & sound!)
