Although we are not cold-loving people, we braved the snow on Mt. Graham for our annual (almost) snow outing. The kids had fun (except Brook who stayed in the car the whole time), and we lasted an hour and a half. I think that's a record for us.

Bob in rare form.

and after a face full of snow.

Cindy helping James through the deep snow.

Lilly after she hit a tree sliding on the tube.

You can almost see the imprint of James' snow angel. The lighting was bad.

Lia tubing.

Suzee not so sure about this stuff.

Jay and Suzee headed down the hill.

Sam at the end of the run.

Janna going down.

James went by himself after watching the big kids do it.

Suzee wouldn't sit on the snow, so Cindy held her most of the time while I was trying to get some pictures.

Jay and Sean building a ramp.

James and I rode down together.

Lia and her snow spray.

Janna got sick of waiting for a turn with the tube, so she started rolling down the first slope we were going down (until we moved because of the tree incident I mentioned).

I think Lilly went down the most times. I guess she had the most energy to keep climbing the hill so she could slide down again.

We had made some Kool-aid concentrate at home, and brought cups to have snow cones. Watermelon-Cherry, Kiwi-Strawberry, and Grape, of course. Only problem was that the snow was so dry it wouldn't stick together. When Jay poured the concentrate over it, it kind of melted. The kids didn't care, and ate/drank them anyway.

I think at this point Sean was DONE!

Hahaha i laughed out loud that janna rolled down the hill. That picture was hilaroiius. And you guys are smart with your snow cone idea, i shall try it my next snow outing! snow makes people look extra super cute in the snow, the way their faces glow and stuff.
