Playing in the Snow

We are still newbies to Arizona but one thing that many Phoenicians take part in each year is driving up to Flagstaff to play in the snow. This year we made our inaugural trip up to Wing Mountain to hit the slopes. We planned the trip with the Bertolinos and Baldwins which made it 3 x as fun. Julie was in town as well so she and Mom joined in on the fun which made for plenty of Audrey holders.


From our years in Iowa I was triple prepared. My kids were dressed warm enough for Alaska and it ended up being 40+ degrees that day so by the end they were just wearing sweaters.

Ellie loved sledding! She and Jason went down a steep slope and she asked to do it again. There are no pictures of Willem sledding because he quickly ditched us and went down by himself the entire time. Audrey mostly snuggled in my Ergo and then Tia Julie took over so I could sled with Jason and Ellie.

The snow was a little soft for snowman making but that didn't hold us back.
 
 

It was such a treat to have Julie there with us. Hopefully we can make this an annual tradition.
