snow fun...






We've had a fun weekend playing in the snow on a snowmobile that Dan borrowed for the weekend so he could take a ride Saturday with about 15 men from our church.





He left yesterday about 10 am and returned about 3:30 after riding about 75 miles on the snowmobile. He said it was a blast!

Last night he took me on a ride and we went out onto several of the lakes around here. It's so incredible to haul butt across the lake, we had to slow down as three deer loped across in front of us. There is a posted trail across the lake with a sign post showing direction and how many miles to all the closest towns. It's so funny to see it right in the middle of the lake.

love looking at people's houses, many of which were lit up as it was dusk. I love it when they leave their curtains open and I can see inside! :) Most people up here have spectacular lake sides to their homes.

Anyway, we pulled the kids around on the sled and they fell off a gazillion times but isn't that the fun of it all?

Today, after church, Dan took a long ride with Shelby and our friend Mike and then he came back and took each of the little ones out except Macy. She had no interest at all after she fell off the sled face first into the snow yesterday.

It has been a fun weekend. We really want our own sled as soon as we can. It's a great way to get out and enjoy winter!

We're hoping for more snow soon. It's gonna be cold...it might as well snow....LOTS! :)

Hope you are toasty and warm!

I have to agree with you snow is so fun - I love snowmobiling and I to like - as you put it - hauling butt across the lakes. I like summer, but I could have winter all year round and not get sick of it. Glad you all had lots of fun.
