We celebrated when we got snow a few weeks back by going for a sledding trip with friends. We had enough snow that we could even sled in a gravel pit in the valley. Usually we have to go up in the mountains to sled.
Now the valleys are bare of snow, but I wanted to share these photos to send support to friends and family back East who are getting lots of snow right now!
We had lots of smiles! It was warm enough that Desert Boy didn't want his coat anymore. I convinced him that keeping his gloves on was a really good idea.
At first Desert Girl and Isaac were really cautious about sledding, only going down two-foot high hills. It didn't take them long to warm up to the idea, though, and their smiles made everyone happy.
What nice teamwork coming back up the hill!
The dogs certainly got into the action.
Zeek thought sledding was a wonderful game.
Desert Boy got some good instruction on turning a sled.
As the kids started showing signs of wearing out, it was time for the final moment:
hot chocolate!
What a fun afternoon.
