A Snowy Winter

This year has been an unusually snowy winter, and I am absolutely loving it!! We had snow all week before Christmas and though we didn't get snow on Christmas there was still some leftovers in the mountains. The snow is simply gorgeous. The boys have been sledding down the little hill in the back yard and making snow angels in the yard, but Saturday was the real adventure.
We headed towards Bridgeport, with the sleds in the back of the truck, a lunchbox full of goodies and each of us a travel mug of homemade hot chocolate. We were in search of some sleddin' snow! And boy did we find it!!

We hooked up the sleds as soon as we turned off the highway and we were nonstop up the mountain. It powder was perfect and the temperature was brisk.

 
The boys were having so much fun !!!

A few more miles up the mountain, we stopped for lunch and decided we were frozen enough to turn around. The boys, of course, wanted no part of getting in the truck to warm up so they loaded on the sleds for a trek down the mountain.

I think Jared was giving a whole new meaning to "eat my dust..." or should we say snow! I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Crisp fresh air, cold mountain snow and of course the laughter of two happy kiddos! But frozen to the bone, and at the end of the road, it was time to call it a day!!
