SNOW DAY!

Today we were able to take the kids to the mountains and play in the snow for the first time!
We had a little detour on the way there! Our friend Josh took a wrong turn so did a turn around in this lot. Well they drive a suburban and made the turn with ease. We were not so lucky! We got STUCK :) After alot of shoveling and some sweat and pushing from the guys we finally made it out! (just for the record i predicted this would happen)
All's well that ends well! We finally made it to the snow, yay!!
Ellie was so excited she had been counting down for the past 4 days til we got to finally go to the snow! She could hardly wait til we got there. I have never seen her eat her lunch so fast!!

Unfortunately not everyone was as excited :( Carson was excited to go til we actually got there! He was not a fan to say the least and was mad that I put him down to take this picture.

Hunter wasn't too sure about it either. I don't think it was the snow, but the fact that he had to be all bundled up! He was pretty stiff. It reminded me of Halloween in his dog costume, where he would just sit exactly where you set him and barely move a muscle. Well he didn't last long, he ended up sleeping most of the time :(


Carson spent 99% of his time on this bench that Daddy cleared off for him, and found great joy in throwing snowballs at everyone! That bench was seriously a life saver for us and he only got off it to go down the sled with Mommy (not by choice, but by force) We weren't quit sure if Carson had fun or not, but on the drive home he told us he did!

Ellie on the other hand had a total BLAST!! It was so fun to see her having fun :) She loved going down on the sled with both Mommy, Daddy, and even by herself! She even built a fantastic snowman with Matt (i was pretty impressed with their "frosty" skills). Minus the cold hands she couldn't get enough and didn't want to go home!

We had a great time and are definitely planning on returning. Thanks Stallings Family for inviting us, we love hanging out with you guys :) Landen, Sara, Josh, and Jason (minus Evrett).

How fun. I'm so nervous to take the kids up to the snow for fear that we'd make the long drive then they'd be so cold they'd just want to leave. Good job brave mommy :)
