This afternoon we took the kids to play in the snow east of Nevada City. We all had a really good time, and I think the kids did too. Megan had told me that she had never been "real sledding" only on cardboard at Grandma Karen's house when she was "little". So, we packed up the sledding toys, some hot cocoa, and extra changes of clothes along with the 5 kids in two cars and headed off. We found a wide spot in the road to park and found an ATV offroad access road that made for a nice low slope. There was laughing, screaming, and warnings from behind the trees of "Don't eat the banana colored snow!"
After a lot of sledding and some snowball throwing, it was time to get out of the wet jeans and underwear and get a cup of cocoa. It was a short but sweet trip, and I think we should do it again this winter. Sure was fun to hear them laughing and having such a good time being rowdy and loud and knowing they weren't bothering anyone!
