A day in the snow

Today was a blast! We got up and drove up past Strawberry and played in the snow. First we found a good spot to build a trail then we started packing it down with boots and then the red toboggan. Colten and Caleb built a small hill to get a good start on. Bentley loved going down with the boys because they could go faster than when he went by himself. We built a snowman and at the end had a snowball war. It was just the perfect amount of snow to play in and not freezing cold. This old Grandma even tried to go down on the three ski sitter that was being enjoyed by all. I did pretty good until near the end when I turned it too sharp and biffed. It was fun while it lasted though. Bentley wanted to go down with me but I was afraid that I would biff with him and hurt him so I left that to the boys. The toboggan broke into three pieces after a few times down. I think it was meant for smaller kids than Caleb who was using it the most. The blue saucer that we took didn’t ever get going very fast. Shandraya went down with Bentley a few times also but almost every time she tried to go by herself she tipped it.

     Caleb was getting hot and Bentley was having so much fun going down the hill
We took over 300 pictures I hope that I didn't post too many but we had so much fun we just wanted to show as many as we thought that you might enjoy.
