Our New Toy

We bought a newer, used snowmobile just before Christmas.  Martin has wanted one for many years and finally decided that it was high time!  We would like our kids to enjoy it before they are too old to enjoy a day of snowmobiling with their parents.  I had not had a ride on a snowmobile in many years.  It made me squeal like a little kid!  What an adrenaline rush!
We bought helmets, but not for Malia.  I'm hoping to find a used one...they are too expensive to only use for a year or two.  If I can't find one, we will simply keep the driving at a very low speed.




The next thing we need to buy is a decent snow suit for Martin.  All he has is his hunting gear and that is sooo NOT cool!  He has been looking for a snowsuit, but so far all he has found is stuff that costs around $300.00 just for the jacket.  I think it is time to do some online shopping!



Our little Piglet...or is it our little kitty...? :)
Raina is over her jet lag and now that we do not have a gathering every day, she is beginning to sleep better at night and at nap time.  The past few nights she has only cried a few times and settled quickly.  She is a very good sleeper...12+ hours at night and sometimes 3 hours at nap time.  She is generally very happy and loves to play with her siblings.

Sometimes I wish we had the land to have toys like these! What fun! But... my hubby is a bit paranoid.
