Family snow day

This passed Tuesday was our family snow day. We'd been looking forward to taking the boys sledding ever since that big storm blew through here. We were reluctant to go, since we got such a late start on the day. (If you know us, this comes as no surprise, I'm sure.) We got up to Echo Summit around 1pm, and it turned out to be the perfect time. The sun was out! The day was just beautiful! I didn't worry about Owen freezing, because it was just perfect sitting out in the sun. We put out a blanket so Owen could crawl around and still be protected. He wasn't so sure about that cold wet snow. He did his best not to touch it at all. I did feel a bit sorry for him, because the only snow outfit we had for him was soooo bulky. He actually looks a bit ridiculous with the coat on. All you could see was this tiny little head popping out of this gigantic "snow suit". The boys had the best time sledding. Every time Dylan came down the hill with Russ I could hear him yelling, "Again! Again!" Brandon felt like such a big boy that he could go down the hill all by himself. He still rode down with Russ and Dylan, but loved the fact that he could be independent, too. I even took Owen down some really short, slower sled rides. He was smiling at the end, so I can only assume that he enjoyed it. We must have stayed and played for a couple of hours. In the end, we were so glad that we decided to go. It was the perfect happy family day.
