The Snow is Back!

Winter, it seems, is back from its vacation and ready to make up for lost time. This past weekend, it pretty much snowed all 3 days for about 6" of accumulation.

Which means sledding time! (I was going to take H up to Targhee for skiing on Sunday, but the roads were too bad, so we turned around. Later we heard the mountain got another foot of snow that day over just a 5 hour-span.) Anyway, it was nice to be home and to lay some fresh tracks on the sledding hill instead!

There was also an attempt to make a snow fort in the yard, but the bricks kept breaking when trying to remove them from the form. I think they got 3 bricks built in an hour!

Owen didn't have school on Monday either, so we did a trek to the other sledding hill in the neighborhood. There were a few jumps set up here from the weekend. Owen liked getting air in the sled, but the landing is always a bit jarring.

Here Owen demonstrates the track he said was like a bobsled run... 

And here, I opted to take you along for the ride! Feel the wind in your hair? Now you see that the ride down is about 1/20 the time it takes to hike back up to the start...
