Joe and I both took some vacation last week and were able to enjoy some different things with Levi as well as get some stuff done around the house. On Monday we picked up mom and headed for the Cedar Rapids Airport to visit my dad. Norm likes to share with his family his love for airplanes so we thought it would be fun to take Levi to see the airplanes. We met Dad at the front door of his building where we had to sign in and get our visitor tags. Levi even got a tag to wear! Then we headed out to the hanger to see the airplanes. Levi seemed to enjoy looking at the planes and even got to sit in the cockpit with Grandpa! Then we enjoyed lunch together before heading back to Kalona.

Levi had his very own visitor tag to wear!

Special Olympics Winter Games!
On Tuesday we loaded up the car and headed for Dubuque for The Winter Games for Special Olympics! This has become a favorite thing for us to do as a family for the last few years and we were glad we were able to help out again this year. We helped out at Sundown Mountain Resort with the cross country skiing event. Each athlete goes through a time trial on Monday and then the competition starts on Tuesday. I stayed inside with Levi most of the day but Joe was able to help outside with getting the athletes lined up and ready to start and he also helped with timing the races. It is something that he has helped with for the last 10 years and it has become a special thing for him. Levi and I are so happy to be able to share these kinds of events with Joe and make a new family tradition each year!
This was Levi's first real experience with snow and he seemed to really like it. The boots were a little challenging for him to walk in at first but he quickly got the hang of it!
