Winter Wonderland

We love playing in the snow so when it snowed up north a few weeks ago, we headed up. We ditched school on Friday and met my mom, my sister Julie and her kids in Heber. There was a ton of snow but it was FREEZING!! We bundled everybody up and for the most part we kept warm.

Alli didn't really like it - she mostly cried at the top of the hill and wanted to snuggle with Grandma. When we did force her to sled down the hill, she got really mad when the snow hit her in the face. Hopefully we haven't scarred (or scared) her for life and she'll eventually want to go again. When I asked her what her favorite part of the trip was, she said "walking up the hill". That's like the worst part for me so I guess it must've been pretty bad for her!
We got a new sled board for the trip and Dana thought he'd surf down the hill. I'm pretty sure he chickened out after the first two feet and bailed off.
This is Emma, Thaeden, Alli and Shaelee playing in the snow.
Emma had fun and was such a trooper. Those long legs sure came in handy when she was hiking up the hill in a foot of snow!

Connor totally loves the snow. He never complained once about how cold it was or how hard it was to hike up the hill. He just kept going up, coming down. One time he hit a bump, flipped off the tube and did a 360 landing on a small rock. He had a little bump above his eyebrow that I think he was quite proud of. This was the funnest sled - a double - with Connor and cousin Trey.
