President's Day

 Ben went with the youth to this fun place to sled last Saturday and was going to take the kids with him but since they had an amazing and unexpected amount of youth show up, he didn't have room in the car for the kids. Since the kids and Ben had the day off today because of President's Day we decided to go today. The kids loved it! and sledded down the hill a lot. They took out a bunch of people, ran over people's feet and and generally caused ruckus, so it went well. :D

 After sledding for a long time we went over to this field that were behind some trees. The snow was extremely deep and perfect for igloo building according to Ben. The kids got stuck in the snow a couple of times but had a lot of fun exploring and looking at animal tracks. Ty was trying to help Laney get out of the snow or trying to pull her arms off. It looks a little bit more like the latter to me but whatever….!

 Ty belly flopping on the snow.

 Nyah was standing next to a big pile of snow and decided that she needed to see what the white fluffiness tasted like.

 Mmmm not bad. Not bad at all.

 I was trying to capture her softness. Ooh she's just so squishy and soft.

 Ty found the beginnings of an igloo and frolicked in it for a while.

 So pretty and white and blue.

 So I don't enjoy this picture at all but I had to put it on here to show you how deep the snow is. My foot fell through the snow and the snow was up to my knee…and my foot was not even touching the ground. It was craziness.

 Nyah sledded a couple of times too. At first when we got there she DID NOT want to sit on the sled AT ALL. But by the end she liked sledding and even let me pull her back to the car.

 Ty was pulling Laney and Ty on their sled back to the car and let go of them so they sped down another little hill. We almost lost Ty but he did what he always does and just rolls off the sled when he's done. It looks pretty funny.

 He was a little annoyed though, because he was pretty tired and then Ben pushed him off into the unknown and he had to trudge back up to us. But Ben ran down and saved him.

Looking back on the little lodge and sledding hill. Fun day!
