This has been a very mild winter, with very little snow. In fact, there hasn't been much opportunity for sledding in the valleys and only recently have the conditions been nice in the mountains for skiing. This has not troubled me. However, I feel like if it is going to be winter, then let it look and feel like winter. So this week we welcomed snow, and were glad that there was enough left to go sledding yesterday. We went to, hands-down, the best place ever to sled. It was safe, easy to get to, and even if there were 100 other people there, it would have been ok. It is a big park in Provo that my friend told me about and that Steve's boss confirmed was a great place to take the kids and sleds.
Yesterday morning we got ready and loaded up to go sledding, which is no small feat. Locating snow clothes, boots, and gloves or mittens for everyone was an ordeal. We had a couple of inter-tubes, and 1 disc, but our sleds otherwise were busted-up. Thankfully ShopKo still had some. They were on clearance and were practically giving them away.
Jenna and Zac had a blast. Trev and Gage were scared of going too fast. Trev did finally settle-in when he discovered that he could make and throw snowballs. Gage frankly was happiest after we loaded back in the van on the way home. Steve and I had a lot of fun too. The sledding and snowball fight were memorable. Too bad the snow wouldn't quite cooperate for a snowman, maybe another day we will make Frosty.
Still makes me smile.
Feeling confident in their fort and ammo
BYU students playing snow Frisbee/football in the background. Yes, the mountains are beautiful.
Trev was brave enough to watch the empty sled go down.
Gage is thinking, "humpf, I would rather be inside".
I love his adventure!
It was a good morning, and we are glad that we went sledding this year.
