Sledding in the SNOW

One of our families favorite activities when visiting Utah in the winter is going sledding in the snow. Living in California, we don't get too much snow and Colton and Sarah were ecstatic to see snow. The first day we were there they went running out into the snow wanting to play put there had not been a fresh snow for a few days. So the snow had melted and hardened up again and was like a rock, needless to say they were a bit disappointed. But not to worry we got plenty of snow. Everyone bundled up to head out to the snow. The whole family was there for at least a short portion of time, enough to get a few pictures. Ashlyn didn't last too long for several reasons. One she was cold due to not having appropriate shoes or gloves and two she wanted down to crawl.
Colton was the dare devil. Eager to go again and again and to go fast. He was wanting to go snowboarding, maybe next trip to Utah. We will just have to wait and see. He is out sportsman.
Every moment was giggles and laughs for Sarah. Once she got the courage up to go out on the sled she was unstoppable. And it always helps to have a buddy along for the ride.
Even in the snow she is decked out in pink. It took some convincing to get her to wear Colton's old snow boots which are black because those are "boys" snow boots. But she wanted to play in the snow pretty bad so she gave in. Who new snow was so convincing?!
There he goes on the fastest sled he could find. I am pretty sure that he tested out eah different kind because who wants to go slow. And surprising enough as he went down the hill he was spinning in circles. He spun in circles over the summer when he was buggy boarding, too.
