Winter Wonderland


We have a nice mountain range right to the north of us. Drive for 40 minutes and you can be at 7000 feet. There was a substantial snowfall. Thought it would be a swell treat to spend the afternoon with the kids






Who doesn't like to eat snow? We parked at a trailhead. There were some nice little hills and rocks to explore around.


The snowfall was just a few days old so the trees were still covered. I love this, reminds me so much of the Adirondacks in winter.



It looks like it was freezing cold, but it really wasn't. The sun was shining, and it was well above 40. Had a lot of fun with this old sled.





Griffin made a friend while Tilda took a break. I dug this old army shovel (from my military days) out of the back of the truck so they could make a fort.



I told Griffin, never to throw a snowball at me while I was taking a picture. He didn't listen.

Taking a break

Griffin takes some great pictures sometimes.
