First Snowmobile Ride

This post is about a month overdue.  Around mid-February, when we had snow absolutely everywhere, Ben and Mandee stopped by one Saturday afternoon to visit and give Vera a ride on their snowmobiles.  Vera was very hesistant to get dressed and come outside to see them.  She even said to me as I was getting her dressed in snow clothes, "Mom, are you sure this is a good idea?"  haha  Ben took her for the first ride, and she came back all smiles.  Then dad took the snowmobile for a spin, and Vera hopped on with him.  She had fun on the ride, even though she said it was cold! 

Vera and Ben are taking off!

And on their way back in!

Vera and her dad!

Vera has always had a hard time warming up to Mandee, though she'll say hi and give her a reluctant "five."  I think part of the problem was the confusion between Aunt Mandy and this Mandee.  In a 2 year-old's mind, how can there be more than one?  But, with the snowmobile ride, Ben and Mandee definitely won Vera over.  The other day when she was going to visit Aunt Mandy's house, she asked if she was going to see Ben and Mandee.  ;)  Thanks for the snowmobile rides!  You'll forever hold a special spot with Vera Lou!
