Sledding in the Sandia's, YAY!

It was cold, it was windy, so we waited till the afternoon to venture out. Then had a blast!

Before any accidents or out of control sledding...

We are out of order: getting ready to test the coldness

The photographer never gets photographed (it's not a bad thing...)

BUT, here is a reflection from the window of the truck,

while waiting for the guys to get gloved up.

Mike, watching

This footprint was about 8" long, and the snow was about a foot deep where you would sink down where it wasn't frozen enough. Glad whatever it was (too big for a dog) wasn't around when we were there!

One of the slopes we were using

Christopher posing on the log he ran into earlier

Papa and Christopher

Getting ready to launch down the hill....Whoaaaaaaaa! Wheeeeeeee! Then, he hit the log!

not hurt, thankfully, but: Waaaaaaaaa!

Hard to see, but there's frozen snow in his beard that latched on and stayed

just playing, waiting to get back into the truck

everyone is tired, time to go home, "can you pull me on the sled?"

it's a little hard to see, but the moon was starting to rise over the horizon

off to the left of the slopes we were playing on, probably could have gone sledding there also, but there are short wooden road barriers in the middle...they would HURT if you rammed into them!

Yay for snow and sledding!
