snow play

On Friday, we drove west along I80 to Boreal snow park for some snowshoeing and play. It was a little colder than expected (25 degrees) and windy, so we were cold out there, but the sun was out and it was lovely to romp in the snow a bit.

Go mom! She snowshoed the whole way with us. (Jasper was very excited to see her when she arrived at our sledding and lunch spot.)

Jasper was very distressed and upset by the the sledding, for reasons we didn't entirely understand. He yelped in a very panicked way every time someone started going down the hill, and tried to block the sled and pull them back.

Me, sledding with snowshoes on, and getting a face full of snow as a consequence.

We were delighted that mom decided to join us in the sledding, making an S turn all the way down to the bottom. It was pretty hard work to get back up the hill, as it was both steep and deep snow.

Enjoying some post-snow play hot chocolate!
