Sledding in Arizona

We loaded up the car Friday morning and headed north to Flagstaff to play in the snow. There is an area that is strictly for sledding with small, medium, and large hills, a place selling hot drinks and BBQ, a campfire burning, and an area to build snowmen. The snow was beautiful and Bryce had fun playing in it. His favorite thing to do was fall down and roll around in the snow. Wayne was a daredevil and sledded down the big hill and after taking a few hard crashes, will be paying for it today. Afterwards, we headed back down here to the valley and to our nice 60 degree weather.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk

You read correctly. We cheered on the KU Jayhawks at the Insight Bowl on New Years Eve. (Please note, both Bryce & Wayne wore their purple K-State hats.)


It was neat to see so many Kansas license plates


Trying to keep the sun off his face. It was a toasty 73 degrees at the start of the game. Bryce is working on polishing off a bag of kettle corn.
Beautiful Arizona evening
