We have been wanting to take Kylee up to the snow for a while now and since it's been raining these past few days, we took advantage of it and went up to Strawberry to have a fun snow day! We brought Cole with us because we knew Kylee would have so much more fun with a friend. And we were right! These two were so cute together and had a blast! We can't wait to do it again soon!
*
We knew that it had snowed quite a bit but we didn't realize just how much until we got there! It was pure white everywhere! I've never seen so much snow in my life!
*
The first place we stopped was beautiful! We saw wide open slopes with no trees or shrubs in the way. The slope was perfect and so we pulled over and got dressed. The second we stepped into the snow, we sunk up to our waists! It was so DEEP! The kids started to panic a little. We decided to keep going and trudge through the snow and make it down that perfect slope. The kids went down once and on our way back up the slope, we kept sinking further and further. By the time we got to the top (with the kids riding piggy back), we thought our lungs were going to burst out of our chests! It was insane! So we got back in the car and found a new spot. This slope below was AWESOME!

Cole and Kylee preferred riding down together! We had two sleds when we first got there but we lost one at the first place we tried sledding at (remember the thick snow!). After we made it to the top of the slope at the first place, one of the sleds slipped and went back down to the bottom. We looked at each other and both decided that it was a gonner! Neither of us wanted to go back down to get it and make the trek back up. Hahaha! The one sled was great though!
*Goof balls! Loving every minute of it!
*Below is David throwing a snow ball at Kylee. She had no idea it was coming! David was the bully of the day. Poor Kylee! She had no idea what was coming!
*
Yep......evidence that David nailed Kylee right on the head with that snow ball!!! She kept smiling and loved it all regardless of mean Daddy! Hahaha
*
I think David is a LITTLE excited that he finally got his turn down the slope! He is such a big kid!
*
Evidence of David being a bully to me too! He pushed me down in the snow and quickly snapped a picture right after. Thanks honey! Love you too!

Making a classic snow angel!

Daddy and his little snow bunny!

Mommy and her little snow bunny!

She was in transition of running up the snow hill but I asked her to stop for a picture so she did and even gave me a little head tilt! That's my girl! She's been behind Natalie's camera lense far too long and knows all about "posing"! Hahaha

Making a classic snowman!

And eating the chocolate donut holes off of him before we left! Mmmmm

We had so much fun! The weather was perfect and the area we found was perfect! It makes me want to go back already today. I hope this weather keeps up so that we can go again in a few weeks. I love visiting and playing in the snow but I always say that I could never live in it. It's just too cold and wet! I'm so thankful for David's schedule and that we have the freedoms of doing things like this as a family. Life is good!
