Snowy Days, but a few miles away.

Have I mentioned how much I love the area we live? We get hot summers, cool winters, and are only 10 minutes away from the mountains. This year, Kingman didn't get any snow. I think maybe we got a small dusting of it in the middle of the night, but I am so not counting that. But only 10 minutes up the road from our home, the tempature drops about 20 degrees. Last Sunday after church, we decided to keep the girls awake by bundling up and using our $10 plastic snow sleds to play around with in the snow.

Needless to say, the girls were STOKED! They think snow is the coolest thing ever. They tried building a snowman, but the snow wouldn't pack at all. We couldn't even pack it enough to make a little snowball. Perfect snow for snow-angels though!

There was a lot of sledding....


A TON of eating....


And lots and lots of fun!
I am so glad we went.


And the best part? A short 10 minute drive home to our snow-free roads!

I want to move to Kingman.

We have had snow since October. Andi doesn't like to go sledding in it anymore, doens't like to look at it anymore & the excitment of eating it is long gone..

Kingman, save a place for us!

That's awesome. I thought we had it good with it just 45 minutes away. But, you have us beat! haha :)

Ran into your dad last night. He gave me a big hug!

Love to see those little snow bunnies in their snow suits with little pink noses and smiles from ear to ear! Wish we were there!
