Snow, Snow and More Snow!

We (the parents) weren't set on a game plan for the day. We wanted to ski, but with so much snow and a bit of wind on the mountain, we worried how difficult it would be for the boys. The storm continued as we contemplated our plan of attack. As we discussed it over breakfast, Seth said, "Today we are going to hike up a mountain, go sledding, build a snowman and have a snowball fight." With that, our day was planned!

Here we are with our snowman. What you can't see in the picture is Seth's planning. Before leaving home, he packed an extra pair of glasses, a pencil and a Tiger's Milk bar for the snowman to wear and hold. It was so funny when he started pulling these things out of his toy bag prior to our leaving the condo this morning. The glasses were really cute. In the picture, you can't see them. Instead, you see the eyebrows!

Here are some sledding pictures of the boys. Ethan was so cute as a sledder. He kept spinning around backwards on the saucer, and he would plow up lots of snow on the other!

Dad was the hardest worker of all that day. After shoveling out a parking spot (and using the car's 4 wheel drive to do some plowing) he led the path from where we parked to the hill, sometimes sinking waist high in powder. Then, he had to dig and plow and dig and plow through deep, deep powder in order for us to have our sled path. We love you Dad!

Here I am going down the hill. It was WAY too steep for me! I only went down one more time...that was more than enough for me!

Seth was a pro! He kept doing awesome jumps! We had two types of sleds, and he mastered them both. At this time he was wearing Dad's snowboarding mask. His poor little face got so cold that is was nearly purple. The mask made an immediate change!

Here is Seth again...catching some air!

Such a fun time!
