Snow Day

Today we went to Mt. Charleston to play in the snow. It is amazing to me that we can travel 45 minutes and the weather can be so drastically different. Since my kids have grown up here they are definitely not used to the cold weather. I was worried we would have lots of complaining, but they were having too much fun to even realize it was cold outside.

Megan and Jackson didn't notice the cold, but as you can tell by Sadie's face, she sure did. She adjusted after a few minutes and ended up falling asleep.

Luckily we still had gloves, hats, and coats that fit everyone. The only thing we were missing were boots. The kids definitely had cold, red feet by the time we were finished.

Mt. Charleston has gotten quite a bit of snow the last week so there was lots of undisturbed powdery snow to sink into.

Jackson, Megan and I built a snowman. Isn't he cute? I have not built a snowman in years. Building the snowman was my favorite part, Megan's was sledding, Jackson's was having a snow ball fight and Eric says his favorite was seeing everyone have fun together (Isn't he sweet?). We definitely had a lot of fun.

I have been wanting to go up there SO bad with the kids! I think I just might have to do it next weekend or something! I wonder if there is anywhere that still has sleds for sale. Looks like everyone (except Sadie) had fun. :o)

That looks like so much fun! Tyler loves building snowmen when we go to Utah. I agree with Rachael that you guys are awesome to get out so much with a newborn. I am also still adjusting!
