to the snow avery

my girl avery has been asking to go to the snow since 2009. she has only been to the snow once and that was when she was one. she doesn't remember it either. as you know life goes on and for some reason or another we haven't been able to make it up the mountain until this past week. of course, we picked the hottest day of the season to go, but it actually was really nice up there. there wasn't much snow, but enough for the kiddo's to play and get a feel for it. and we didn't have to get all bundled up in snow gear, which was nice. so, after many "are we there yet" from the little miss and thankfully a nap from the little fella we arrived.

take a look...

first things first: a snowball fight (me not included, have i told you i don't really like the snow either?)

my little fella was not afraid to get in on the action

i think this is my favorite photo from the day

my girl makes the biggest snowball

hopefully none of that snow was yellow (that fire hydrant makes me think it's possible)

second: we built a snowman or tried at least

these two photo's (above + below) might just be my favorites from the day too

third: off to find a hill with more snow

for sledding of course

we all took a few turns ( even me the one who doesn't like the snow)

we had lots of laughs and lots of fun, but as the old saying goes laughing leads to crying, which in our case usually comes true

my girl was stuck in the snow not able to go any further (not really - she was just being dramatic)

and this one, well it's just what he does!

that's our day in the snow. we didn't miss it this year. in fact i heard it's supposed to snow again this weekend. so, for those of you who haven't made it up there and are wanting to, it's not too late. to the snow friends!
