It was 15 degrees when we reached the top of the mountain where we stopped to sled and I thought I'd prepared myself very well....Scarf - check
Wool hat - check
Gloves - check
Snow boots - check
4 layers of clothes - check
Thin socks with NO insulation - oops
Long underwear - wishful thinking
Gloves that are waterproof and therefore NOT FREEZING YOUR FINGERTIPS OFF - duh!!!!!
Despite the "bone-chilling" temps and the scary sign that was posted (see below), we did enjoy some fun times, but Chad and I were the first to wimp out and head to the car for fear we may never feel our fingers again. Good thing our kids don't enjoy hours of skiing yet...I don't know if we could have handled much more! :) Motivation to get in shape and buy much warmer clothes!
Here are quite a few pictures to recap our wonderful day!
Chad and I
Oops...J slipped on the way back to the car. Nothing but smiles. :)

That's a good picture of you and Chad (the first one...the one where you can see his face)...and I really like the new family pic. I'm glad y'all had a good time and got to do fun wintery stuff. It would be okay with me if you wanted to move to CO...then we'd have a place to stay at Christmastime. :)
Looks like y'all had a great time. I'm so glad that y'all were able to get away for awhile.
