Sledding at Warner Mtn.

Last Saturday we took advantage of the nice snow--before it all melted. We went up to the Warner Mtn. ski hill here in town, which has not opened yet this year due to lack of snow. What's cool about that is that you know the runs are clear of trees and most obstacles so you can just send the boys!

We went with the Markus family and had a blast. It was a long hike up at first, but then we found a perfect-size hill off the backside that we could go up and down dozens of times. Paddy did great, and both boys were going down by themselves by the end. The snow got packier and packier in the warm temps, so we were sailing down the slope just before we left.

Mama takes a digger! Daddy was a little nervous to watch this, but the pictures are priceless.

Here's a video clip of Mike's prowess at snowball throwing. Note: no photoshopping was done to make this video!


And here are the boys at our house in front of the snowman. Show Daddy your tough face!
