Winter wonderland!

Last weekend we took the kids and Mom to Hawks nest and did some snow tubing!! It was a two hour drive and the up a super big mountain! When we reached almost to the top of the mountain it seemed as though we were transported into a winter wonderland! Snow magically started to fall and every tree was covered in white!! It was so beautiful!!
We got our passes and had 1 hr and 45 min to tube. John was thinking the kids would never make it that long, as it was only about 29 degrees outside.
Emily did not hesitate to say she was going alone down the hills, but quickly changed her mind when she saw them. She went with me most of the time but then decided she could go it alone!
Jacob went with John most of the time but about 1/2 hour left he decided to go it alone also, he was all about it, trying to "not hang on" and "do tricks"!! At one point, I swear he was hanging on with only his foot!!
Katelyn was by far the biggest trooper!! She went down alone the whole time and lugged her heavy tube around by herself too! She loved it!! Me and her and Grandma went down every hill!!
It was so much fun enjoying the Family time in the snow, we will have to do it again soon!!
