the big rock snowy mountains
We live in Colorado. Colorado! You know, Rocky Mountains, Colorado? Wouldn’t it make sense that if people live in Colorado they might want to participate in winter activities on a regular basis? It makes sense to me. Nevertheless, when we decided to go sledding, it didn’t help us find sleds, or waterproof mittens for little kids or snow pants for mommy. In December. (Pssst, Target, really, it’s Colorado here, come on! And while we’re talking, did you forget that Toys R Us left town? I’m thinking so. I expect more from you, you know.)
We took the kids on their first ever sledding trip last Sunday. Eden, especially, loved it and even went by herself a couple times. Honor didn’t mind it too much once he figured out that the cold snow wouldn’t kill him. Yes, Honor, when you stick your bare hands right into a big snow drift, it may be a little cold. Just a thought, but I promise you’re not going to die.
And a few photos I snapped as we were packing up to leave:

If you guys go again…give us a call! I was bummed we couldn’t make it Sunday. Granted, we would’ve been searching for snow pants and mittens too. Gene Taylors, maybe?

I’m jealous! You are going to have a White Christmas. While me here in Oklahoma might get rain! What a bummer. We did get to play in the last snow storm though. The pics are so cute, I’m glad you guys had such a great time. I still want to move to Colorado someday. Maybe that will happen…

Snow pants…Gene Taylor’s in Fruita has them for a little bit cheaper than other places. And I think you look a lot your sis in that pic. =)

Shopping for snow items needs to be done in July…summer items are in stock in January. Makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?
