Sledding at Charleston

We woke up today and said "let's go sledding!" and that is exactly what we did.  Well first we got dressed in layers, then we unpacked our winter bag and found hats, scarves, gloves, and we loaded up the car and stopped at McDonalds and ate on the way to Mt. Charleston.  We got there around 8:45 and  one snow area didn't even open until 10:00 am, can you imagine waiting that long?!? Luckily the other sledding area was open and was perfect!  Well mostly perfect, it was sunny, which made it actually bearable outside, but for pictures you really prefer an overcast - ah what can you do ;o) anyway there wasn't a lot of people yet and it was actually warm with all the layers of clothes on, if it wasn't for Pepper getting tired and us being exhausted from climbing the short hill so Summer could sled, we might have stayed all day!  Ok I doubt it, but I really was warm, which is saying something because I normally freeze, and I didn't have gloves on so I could take pictures.

When we left some guys were selling hot chocolate so that helped warm us up on the way home too!  Overall perfect timing, perfect weather, perfectly packed sledding snow and the girls loved it.

the very short climb up the hill

cute!

Can you walk with all those clothes on?

Go Summer!

Here comes both girls!

Look at those smiles :o)

weeeeeee!

Snow Angels, sorta, and Pepper fell forward and couldn't get back up haha.

What's wrong, can't move?

How does that fresh snow taste?  Good until her hand started stinging lol.
