A trip to the snow

Last weekend, we drove up to the mountains to play in the snow.  It was a beautiful, sunny day and we found a great place to play that didn't have a huge crowd! 

Ready for some sledding
....Head first

my cousin Brian came along too

After this, Ayden said, "Daddy, it doesn't work when you go with me."

Daddy's turn

some undisturbed powder was perfect for a snow angel
Brian gearing up for a little snowball fight
After some sledding, it was time to build a snowman.  Ayden was sure to grab a carrot, some raisins, and a scarf so we could make a proper snowman.  Unfortunately, the snow was very powdery and it was almost impossible to make a snowball, let alone a snowman.  Luckily, I am married to a very resourceful man and he found chunks of ice/snow that were already there and made those work for our snowman.

It's almost impossible to get a nice family picture...ugh!

and then Ayden knocked the head off the snowman

Gotta finish off a trip to the snow with some yummy hot chocolate to warm you up!
