Adventures of the Schoeck Family: In Search of a Winter Adventure

The Schoeck family headed north in search of some winter adventures. Or should I say, Schoeck family plus two Wintenburg boys. We often invite Jonathan and Christopher along on our adventures. Together we ventured north to Vermont in search of snow because we were not finding any here in Connecticut.

We did find some snow at Sugarbush Resort. Not a lot, but enough to take skiing and snowboarding lessons. Steven decided to improve his skiing by signing up for a group lesson. As it turned out he was the only adult who signed up for the morning class so he had a private lesson. The rest of us decided to do something brand new and take snowboarding lessons. God blessed us with a warm and sunny day. It was so warm we had to start peeling off a a few layers.

Hitting the slopes wiped us out! The next day we needed to replenish all those calories we burned off so we took a detour on our way home to Ben & Jerry's.

Free Sample of Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

After the tour of the factory we were treated to a free ice cream sample. Of course that was not enough so we went into the ice cream store to "try" different flavors.
