SNOW!

Brian promised the girls that we would go to the snow last weekend. I tried to be excited - but just wasn't. Cold and I are not BFFs. I don't mind skiing or boarding because I'm actually not cold from all the activity. But just to play in the snow? I really see no point. It is not fun. BUT - it was a "thing" we could do as a family and the kids were excited...so I faked it.

We drove to Mt Charleston and there was a TON of snow! We drove around for a while but it was really crowded and there were a lot of dumb people out (in regular little cars with no chains or 4 wheel drive, getting stuck) so we headed over to Lee Canyon. On the way there Brian took a detour and we found a PERFECT spot. It had a nice little hill for the kids to sled.


Do you see how deep it is? Up to Brian's knees - so not fun to me!

Ellie went down once and decided that it was enough...Brooke hated everything about it and Alison couldn't get enough of it!



We ended up getting kicked out about 10 minutes after we got there...apparently it was a private road and we weren't allowed to sled there.
This picture makes me cold now just looking at it!
We left and looked for another spot in Lee Canyon, but Brooke was not happy and Ellie said she just wanted to play in the car. So we headed home with a promise to Alison that B would bring her back the next day - without the rest of us wimps!

Brooke was cold and hungry and cried ALL the way home.
(she would not keep her socks on)

    I'm with you, cold is not fun! You don't even have a fireplace to go home to.... Did Alison and Brian go alone? There's not much Alison doesn't like, is there?

    i'm not much of a cold person either. the worst part, i think, is getting back in the car when your all wet and cold.
