We live in Colorado. Colorado! You know, Rocky Mountains, Colorado? Wouldn’t it make sense that if people live in Colorado they might want to participate in winter activities on a regular basis? It makes sense to me. Nevertheless, when we decided to go sledding, it didn’t help us find sleds, or waterproof mittens for little kids or snow pants for mommy. In December. (Pssst, Target, really, it’s Colorado here, come on! And while we’re talking, did you forget that Toys R Us left town? I’m thinking so. I expect more from you, you know.)

We took the kids on their first ever sledding trip last Sunday. Eden, especially, loved it and even went by herself a couple times. Honor didn’t mind it too much once he figured out that the cold snow wouldn’t kill him. Yes, Honor, when you stick your bare hands right into a big snow drift, it may be a little cold. Just a thought, but I promise you’re not going to die.

And a few photos I snapped as we were packing up to leave:
