In the middle of December, we had our first good snowfall. We spent the Saturday morning the week of the first snowfall sliding in the snow. Ammon invited some friends over, and the kids played and played outside for 2 hours. It was so much fun for all of us!
They began the day by sledding on the hill adjacent to our house:
Edward kept bringing more snow over with his backhoe and then distributing it along with Josh onto the sled hill with shovels.
After the boys felt that they could master the jump that Edward built, the boys began going in succession to make things more exciting!
Kanyon is afraid of going too fast on the steep hill, so after he watched the boys for a while, then he decided he would try the area next to it--it's slower, but also a lot bumpier with rocks and weeds.
When the boys were done with sledding, then they began tubing down the hill instead:
After they tired of tubing, then Josh and Edward tied toboggans behind 4-wheelers and took the boys for a ride on our driveway, in the field below our house, and along the snow-covered road.
Kanyon was afraid of being pulled behind the fast 4-wheeler, so when the boys all returned, he took a ride with Grandpa pulling him instead.
It was a fabulously fun Saturday snow morning for the boys. I was so grateful to receive enough snow so that we could enjoy the day this way. Last year we didn't receive hardly any snow, and it was a tough winter to endure without the enjoyment of sledding days like this!
