The Snow...

We went up to the snow last weekend. We want up to Strawberry, which is near Dodge Ridge. It only took us two hours to get there. How lucky are we to only have to drive two hours to play in snow.
The snow was nice. Some of it was hard, but some of it was powdery. Ethan LOVED it!! Man, he just could not get enough. At first, actually through most of the day, we couldn't get him to stop eating it. Every time it got on his mitten, he would eat it. Every chance he could, he would bend over, pick up a hand full, and eat it. We kept telling him not to eat the yellow snow though. He also loved to make snowballs too and throw them. We had gotten into a big snowball fight with my cousins. Actually, it was me and Carrin (15 yrs.) against Taimon (10 yrs.) Ethan was supposed to be on Taimon's side, but he ended up throwing at Taimon. Ethan also picked up a big huge block of snow and threw it at Xavier, which hit him in the face. Poor Xavier. I told Ethan after that that we have to throw snowballs at people's feet.












We also went tubing/sledding. Strawberry has a tubing park that has lanes for people to go down. Most of them are real big, but there is a very small hill for the little ones. Ethan actually went down the big ones a few times, and LOVED it. The kid is a dare-devil. You could hear him giggling the whole time. I wish I had a picture of the big hills so you could see how steep they actually were. Even I was afraid of them. After going on the big ones a few times, we stuck to the little ones, and Ethan went down those hills over, and over, and over again. He just could not get enough.
