Snow Much Fun...

The kids loved spending time in the snow while we visited SLC over Christmas break. Ethan was always trying to rope someone to going outside for a snowball fight. The snow was so powdery our balls wouldn't really form. That also made it hard to make a snowman. We settled for finding big clumps of ice/snow out of the snow plowed mounds on the side of the road. Those clumps made for a crazy looking snowman. On our last day there we had to follow through with our promises and break out the sleds. Uncle Justin and Jackson joined us for some good clean sleddin' fun. The best part is that it was snowing a little while we were outside. We went to a nearby school playground and I learned that sledding can be a dangerous sport- we were dodging tether ball poles and the school wall! Uncle Justin was teasing me for not using my breaks because Ethan and I ran into the building. We decided that maybe going to the top of the hill gave us a bit too much speed. Once we clued in to just going half way up the boys all started going down solo. Good memories...
