Family Fun Day: Mountain Snow Fun

It probably goes without saying, but it doesn't snow much here in Albuquerque. Maybe two or three times a year and it all melts off by the next day. Snow was predicted for this weekend and when we woke up Saturday morning, saw a tiny skiff in the backyard and snow clouds over the mountain, Trent and Ethan decided that we were going up. We bought a sled and drove the hour or so to the top of Sandia Crest. The trees were snow covered and beautiful. Logan slept through the sledding but woke up at the end in time to get to put his hands in the snow.

 Trent writhing in pain after he hit a rock (and cracked our new sled...)

 Holding snow for the first time. His face kind of looked like this the whole time...and then he put it in his mouth. Go figure.

When we got home we built our first fire ever in our fireplace. Ethan and Trent drank hot chocolate and played Go Fish. It was a great way to spend the cold afternoon and warm up from the morning.

 Boys love fire ;).

Saturday night it snowed again. We let Logan crawl out in the snow as Trent was leaving for a meeting before church. He loved it...for about 40 seconds. Then he held up his cold hands and started crying. Haha. It was fun for the boys (all three of them ;)) to see the snow!
