Oh yeah...it's still winter.

The past week has reminded us it's still winter. Last weekend we started our Friday with a snow day from school, then headed up to Red Feather for Sam's annual pond hockey tournament.

Sam left with his teammates early in the morning and I left around noon with the kids. I tried not to curse him for not warning me that I wouldn't be able to tell where the road was in places! I kept saying if this gets worse, I'm turning around...and Mac would then proceed to give me detailed directions because he did not want to go back home!

We got there safely in time to watch Sam's game. It was a bit of a white out. Before this snowfall that started Thursday night, there was only puddles here...now there's over 2 feet of snow.

The next day was awesome! It's usually windy and cold up here, but there was no wind, blue sky and lots of snow. The best weather we've ever had up there and the kids loved it! Mac was busy building tunnels and snow caves the whole time.

Elly helped him out.

Nate you could always find perched on a snow bank watching a game....didn't have to be a team he knew.

Sam taking a shot.

Sam's team. They made it into the top bracket, top 8 out of 24 teams, so did well. Always fun to watch.

Nate (bitsy in the middle) skated when he got some free ice...

and Elly got some in too. She's gotten much better on her skates through this winter.

Another nice picture of the area...

A couple weekends before the tourney, we stayed with some friends at their place in Winterpark. Here Sam and the kids are walking back up a long sledding hill.

The boys got their first snow-machining in, they of course loved it!

Elly loves sledding!

Her and her brothers have a need for speed that I'm sure will give me many heart attacks!
