Snow Fun

Last Jan. we headed up North (northern Az.) to the Gravel Pits to let the kids play in the snow. However, we missed the turn off to the "pitts" which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Had we had actually gone to our original destination, we realized the kids would have likely "chickened out" after seeing all the people sledding down those steep mountains. Our kids tend to be very non-adventurous. Don't know where they get that...(ok, guess you can thank their mother.) Anyway, upon arrival at our own private snowy hill, Daddy started up the mountain with his garbage bag in hand. Unbeknownst to the kiddies, in a few short moments they'de be zooming down the hill quicker than they could realize what happened to them. As Kinley reached the top of the hill, with her bag in hand ,she asked "Daddy, why do we have garbage bags?" Daddy helped her assume the position, he gave her a quick little nudge and down she went. She screamed all the way down but thankfully decided it was worth the thrill and came back for more.Each kid followed suit and we all loved it! Even Mommy was brave and went down. She wasn't about to let those little ones show her up!
