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.

Hi gang!
Wow, you guys always have the greatest adventures! Great photos!
Our snow has only been of the icy variety, boo. No fun sledding for us yet.
Hope all is going well.
Love,
