Trip to the snow 1-31-10

This past sunday we took the kids to the snow with my parents and Nikki and Jacob. We went up by Shaver lake to the snow parks. We did this last year and the kids had fun! Im thinking we are going to make this an annual trip! Me, well for anyone that knows me, im not really a snow person! Lol i hate to be cold and wet...no fun. On a side note..i think Shelby will be more like me in this aspect, as she kept saying "I no like it" lol who knows that silly girl! But we do have a good time and we get to see the snow once a year which is enough for me! :) I enjoy watching Lex have such a good time and she is becoming quite the daredevil! It was hard to get any pictures of her sledding because she was going so fast!!!

here are the girls before we left decked out in their snow bibsHere we are at the first snow park. This snow park was interesting. It was packed!! We got unloaded and did a test run. Jimmy went to the bottom of the hill to catch me and Shelby...well the snow was packed and hard so there was no control...Shelby and I flew down the hill so fast Jimmy wasnt able to stop us! There was no way to control the sled so to the other people on the hill it was either move or be plowed down! Shelby and i finally stopped and decided it was too rough. My poor mom fell and lex got plowed by a guy coming down. Jacob and Nikki took out another little girl so it was all around rough! We decided after maybe 10min that we should go find another spot (yes all that happened in roughly 10min!) CRAZY! So we ventured to another snow park that was much better..it had powdery snow and wasnt nearly as busy! We played around and had a good time

me and shelby at a much nicer pace lol. Her face cracks me up here i wonder what it looked like as we were flying down the first hill??

here we are enloying yummy lunch that grama val made!!

I love this guy!
