More Snow Fun!

Snow! It snowed every day for a week (note the heaps behind Ty...that is our driveway), but it made such a fun family event every night. We would all get bundled up...Rob would get on the 4-wheeler (it has a plow) with the boys and I got the snow-blower (it's like my little toy; I love it!) and we'd clear the whole thing in minutes. So fun! It's the little moments like that that make me so grateful to have a little family.


It's so fun being close to all the Olympic event centers! About a month ago, Soldier Hollow was having some Olympic timed-trial for the cross-country skiers (it was to see where they would race on the team or something). Anyway, 14 countries were there, but Soldier Hollow wanted Team USA to get all the cheers, so they called in the public! Whoever came with a nose maker and voice to cheer on the USA team, got a free tubing and cross-country skiing (and rental) ticket!!! Of course, we jumped on that (tubing alone is $19!!) So here are some pictures of us "redeeming" them.

Rob and Robbie

Ty is actually too young to go down the runs, so Rob and I took turns pulling him around on the tube. He thought it was fine, but the real highlight was pulling the tubes himself or just sprawling face down on the snow and licking it to his heart's content. Doesn't get much better than that, right?
