Frozen rain


Every year after Christmas we make our way over the snowy passes and hide out in Plain, nestled in the snow and frozen winter wonderland with no phone, no tv, no internet to pass the time. We sled and we make an igloo and we spend the evenings playing games and knitting (well, that's just me). But this year there was just a tiny dusting of snow. Except under the canopy of trees, and then there was just the cold grass and dirt. But half an inch of snow apparently won't stop us. The week went as planned. Even through the freezing rain. Literally. Freezing rain.











We had some death defying sled runs. While freezing rain isn't necessarily the most exciting atmosphere, it does make for some crazy sledding rides. Especially after we lost all the trees in the horrible winter storm last year and we're still working on getting it cleared out a year later. There were logs and stumps and tree obstacles to make it oh so exciting!

 I think Everly felt safest with Jeremy in the sled with her. Good call, Ev.


 We tried for a three generation ride.

 The all guy ride was not as successful.

 So then they went for a grandma-mom-Parker-Everly trip. Aaaand we made it about 30 feet before we ran into the bushes and I nearly wet my pants with laughter.






And on the last day, the kids and Jer made some epic runs....
 Making it all the way ONTO the bridge to the river...
 

BOOM!
