We planned a fun New Year's Day surprise for the kids & had so much fun carrying it out! We headed to Mt. Hood to meet Jacqui & Jon & their church for a fun day of sledding! While Momma couldn't actually sled, she had plenty of fun visiting and watching Daddy & the kiddos!
The drive up was simply gorgeous.
We came up the Gorge and the glimpses of snow & green were breathtaking. Pictures, of course, don't do them justice.
After our trip to Washington at Thanksgiving, Brock was confused about which mountain this was. "Mt Reindeer" was soon replaced by Mountain Hood after about 65 corrections from his sisters! :)
I haven't done the snow-thing in a while.... So of course, it was bit of learning curve. I helped all the kiddos get dressed... head to toe, including gloves... When I realized... hmmm... we should've gone to the bathroom before we just did all this! oops!
Waiting in line for the bathroom allowed for a few good photos before the kids scattered.
And they're off!!
We went to Little John's Ski Run. There were several hills of different sizes which was perfect for all the kids.
My parents bought this sled back when Connor was a baby... such a fun ride to be towed behind everyone!
Love their faces!
Cutie bug!
I don't even want to talk about the ride home. It was a NIGHTMARE. We got stuck in some sort of traffic of everyone coming off the mountain at the same time. And LITERALLY sat in the same mile for over 3 hours. It was not a pretty picture.
The kiddos were worn out after such a fun day. We were so blessed to have been invited! Can't wait to do it again some day!
