This past weekend we took the kids to Flagstaff to play in the snow. Brad's sister Tina and niece Lucy, her husband Devon and new baby Levi live up there so we were able to visit them too. Lucy and Devon live on a few acres that back up to the forest and they had a lot of snow and hills to play on. The kids had so much at their house that we ended up playing there the entire time. Everywhere was sold out of sleds so we brought our snowboards for the kids to play on. At first they just sat on them and slid down the hills, but then they got brave and asked us to strap them in so they could ride standing up. They all did great and looked like naturals riding. They did a better job than me - but that's not hard! It looks like we will be getting them their own boards soon since ours are a little too big and heavy.
Taylor the dog lover split her time between playing with Lucy and Devon's dogs, holding Levi, and snowboarding. We built a snowman in the front yard but Tanner wanted to build his own so he took off across the yard and got to work. He did a great job and was so proud of his work.
After wearing ourselves out playing in the snow we would go inside to thaw out and Devon made us the best hot cocoa EVER! Tanner is normally very shy but Devon totally won him over. The best part about our trip is that nobody got hurt. This is major feat in our family. We can't wait to go back to visit and have more fun (and hot cocoa)!
