Sledding Day

We left a little apprehensive about the amount of time our kids would actually happily play outside in the cold snow- but they couldn't get enough of it! We currently don't have snow in our neck of the woods, so our plan was- go north until we find it! Just past Idaho City was this fabulous-perfect-for-sledding spot where we spent a good chunk of our day. This was actually a church activity, so we went with several other families (coincidentally with children the same ages as ours) it was perfect. This spot has a large parking lot? - I couldn't actually tell what was under all the snow, maybe it was just a field. Anyway, among all of the steeper sloped mountains surrounding this area, was a very mild slope, just right for sledding. At the base, the flat ground/parking lot/ set up camp to warm the chili was close enough that we could still see Andrew going up and down the mountain over and over again. It was a great day!Raja and Natalia coming down!
