fun with my family! part 3

Day 7 - Friday

After everyone regrouped from the morning's activities, we decided to skip nap time for the day, and head up the mountain. It was a clear, sunny day, so we had to take advantage of the sunshine!

There's not many places where you can go to the beach one day, and up to the mountains to sled the next. This was the first time my kids had ever been sledding, and they had such a great time. I had such a great time! My mom had even gotten snow clothes for them. The rest of us were a little more makeshift in our attire. It was fun to be able to play in the snow in t-shirts, though.

grandma and chris had the first run of the day

naomi would cling to me for dear life, but laugh like crazy when it was all done. she loved it, but only went a few times. i don't think she's too much of a thrill seeker. :)

after sledding, we found this beautiful trail, which has been covered in snow when we've been up before. actually, it was still covered in snow in some places. that just made it more of an adventure!

christopher couldn't seem to be able to keep his legs under him on the snowy places, so dave ended up carrying him like this on the way back. he was so funny about it - he just hung there patiently until they got to the part without snow. content to get carried by the back of his pants.

we saw these cool things on the trail. not at all sure of what they are, but they were rubbery, bright yellow, and you can see how small they are from my finger.

after getting back from the mountain, we grabbed some food, and ate outside in the backyard. after dinner was a marshmallow roast in the fire pit. a perfect way to end a fabulous day!
