Winter Adventures

It has been far too long since our last post. For all of our faithful readers (Mindy)... this one is for you:) We thought we would catch you up on what we have been doing to try and enjoy the crazy weather we have been having. On New Years Eve day we went sledding with Megan and Ben (Bev's siblings). It was a lot of fun with just a few minor casualties. The first casualty was when Ben's sled broke in two after going off a jump, however that did not deter him for using it for the rest of the day!
The next casualty is when Megan started feeling a little breeze down her backside. We were all very thankful she had snowpants on.

The final casualty was on the last jump of the day. Ben finally made it all the way down the hill and made the jump, however he ended up with a sprained ankle. He was proud he had finally made the jump though, so I guess it was worth it.



Somehow Jake and I escaped any major casualties and just ended up with a couple of sore tail bones. It ended up being a very entertaining and fun day.

Our other winter adventure was going snowshoeing a few weeks ago with some friends. We went along the pipeline trail up Millcreek Canyon. It was such a beautiful day and felt so nice to be outside enjoying nature again. We had a lot of fun playing in the snow and especially sliding down the mountain on our bottoms. It was a little scarry weaving through the trees as we slid down the mountain. We lost our voices screeming and laughing the whole way down and I think the people at the bottom may have wondered what kind of crazy creature was coming towards them. We can't wait to go again sometime soon.
