Blizzard & Sledding

We went up to the snow this past weekend with our friends the Blood Family. We had so much fun on our ward's youth snow trip that we decided to go back to the same spot. We knew there was a 70% chance of rain/snow. But we never imagined this...


Fortunately, the weather cleared up just enough for us to clothe up, and catch some hills. We were so grateful for the Maxfield family for lending us all the kid's snow gear. It was because of them that the kids didn't freeze to death. :-) I didn't how the kids would react to all the snow falling on them, but they had a blast and didn't want to leave.

Addi reminded us of the kid from "Christmas Story".
She was our little marshmallow.

Some scouts were leaving right as we were driving up. They had built this snow cave the day before and Cooper thought it was the neatest thing.

By the time we left the snow was really coming down...
...but 2 thumbs up for a great trip to the mountains!

I'm so bummed we don't have any pictures of the kids tubing down the hills, but the snow was coming down too hard to have the camera out. But believe me, it was the cutest thing seeing the kids stretched like an "X" across the tubes holding for their life. :-) And I am happy to say there were no bruises or crazy crashes this time. :-)
