Snow Day, 2012

We haven't been up north to play in the snow in three years, so it was officially time. Last trip, the big kids were 3 and 5 and didn't last long because we didn't dress them properly. (apparently jeans get cold when they're soggy) We borrowed what we could from friends and pieced together the rest ourselves.  This year, Ryan wasn't scared of flying down steep hills face first at warp speeds. Jason would have done the big hills alone, had we not stopped him because he refused to hold on to the handles and kept tumbling off. 

The little hills were fun until Ryan discovered a monster hill. It was steep, huge and packed flat with icy snow. The kids couldn't get enough of it.

Jason has never seen the white stuff in person and, although he enjoyed sledding, he had the most fun pelting us with snowballs. (we went up when he was 2 months old, but it doesn't count when you're asleep in an infant carrier the whole time)

We topped off the afternoon with cocoa, then pizza at Oregano's, before making the long drive home.

Jason passed out (napless) 15 minutes before we reached the house. And it wasn't until we unloaded the car that I realized my phone was missing. I think it slipped off my lap when I let Jason go to the bathroom on the shoulder of the highway in the middle of no where. (*sigh*) We were about 30 minutes outside of town, so we're going to see if we can find it later today. I'm thinking a new iPhone 5 might be in my future if we aren't able to locate the needle in the haystack!
