christmas vacation part 2

Spencer had been talking about taking the kids sledding for several weeks. With the recent rainstorms we had, we knew that there would be tons of snow if we got high enough. He wisely (?) decided that if we took the motorhome he could convince me to go, and I wouldn't really have an excuse to say no.

We went with another family of 6 in the motorhome, and 3 other families we're friends with drove up and met us. It was gorgeous! The trees were so heavy with snow...


but the sun was out and it was "warm." I took Sadie out for a while, and walked around and took some pictures. Then we made lunch and had hot chocolate in the motorhome and several people went sledding again.

Spencer is notorious for having his tongue out when doing anything remotely exhilarating. Seriously. A couple kids (Sadie mostly) take after him.

Poor Tanner would get sprayed right in the face with snow when he sledded. After he had enough of this


he started doing this. He is in there somewhere.
 

And then he was DONE. Just like that.


Rochelle had him in the very beginning before it slowly went downhill (ha ha)...

The other two were little animals and went again and again with their friends.


The drive home was brutal with 8 semi-grumpy, hungry, exhausted children. But worth the memories! I got my fill of the cold; I'm ready for 80 degrees again.

So fun - except the snow spray in the face. I probably wouldn't like that either. Glad you survived the drive home!
