Pin It Now!
Our family took Monday off from work and school and headed up North in search of snow!! We found some about 2 hours away and had a blast! For a while it was just us. It was so peaceful, and the view, breathtaking. We even had a picnic in the snow. My kind of picnic--NO BUGS!! It wasn't very cold either, which was nice. At one point I just had short sleeves on and felt great. The kids did get a little cold, though, since they completely soaked their clothes. I packed plenty of extra clothes, but the one thing I did forget was sunscreen. Poor Daddy, Lincoln and Shiloh suffered from some sunburns. All in all, it was a super day. A day our family needed very much!

SLEDDING: We bought some cheap, round sleds that made for a lot of hill-sliding fun. I was first to try out the steep hill, and goodness me, I had no idea how
FAST I could fly. It had been a while since I had been on a sled. My backside is a bit sore today, to say the least. Didn't stop me from sledding a bunch more times, though! Mullin and Lincoln were so brave climbing way up the hill to sled half way down and then bust!! Shiloh loved flying down the hill in Daddy's lap.

Did you go find some snow because you're jealous of those of us in Michigan getting all that snow? It sure looks like a fun time - sledding is always great!
This is a funny post for me. When we lived in AZ it was all I could do to get out when we found out it had snowed up north...then we move here and have two very bad winters with hardly any snow and NOW this year, I am overwhelmed with the snow. I have no desire to be out there and could not have posted a "pleasant" post like this about it! Thanks for sharing, it made me realize I once did not have this and once LOVED it!
I am glad to see that your children won't be missing out on all the pleasures of childhood by growing up in the desert.
I found your blog via a WFMW link. I am in Queen Creek too!!! What a small world. When I saw Queen Creek on your blog I flipped out. I was raised here and have been here for about 23 years. Great to find another desert rat!
Arizona is always amazing to me how there can be so many diverse climates in one place!
