Snow Days!

Karen's brother, Bruce, and sister-in-law Barb came to visit us for a few days, so we seized the last few moments of winter to squeeze in some snow fun.

First we headed up to Daniel's Summit on Friday while the girls had school. Daniel's Summit is about an hour west and a little south, and there are miles and miles of snowmobile trails that go from 6,500 ft all the way up to about 10,000 ft.

Here we are up at the top of the trail, overlooking the simply gorgeous view.Me, Barb and Bruce poised by a snowkid that someone previously made.The weather was simply phenomenal! It was maybe 40 degrees, no wind, bright sun. We had such a good time.

And experienced some snowmobile love...Then, on Saturday, with the girls, we went to the Soldier Hollow Tubing hill, just 30 minutes west of us. It was another gorgeous day; we actually took off our coats it got so warm.You get pulled up the tubing hill by a tow rope as you sit in your tube, then at the top you plop down and let gravity do its wonderful work!

Here's a racing showdown between the oldies (Karen, Bruce and Barb) and the youngies (Anya, Emily and Jenna).

Oh, and young Brown cousins? The girls all want to take you here if you ever come visit in the winter! No pressure, parents.
