A few days after Christmas, we decided to head up to the Olympics and play in the snow. We went to the great sledding spot we found last year when we cut our tree, which didn't have any snow a month ago and now has LOTS! It was a little hard to get there, even with our 4x4 truck.
The snow was beautiful, powdery and soft enough to lay in!
Brad and Ben climbed up this hill and rolled huge snowballs down. We made a snowman, but I didn't get a picture.
We hiked and played in the snow for about 45 minutes, then decided to head back down.
When we reached the sledding hill, the snow was deep enough that it scraped the bottom of the doors when we opened them and there was no way to turn the truck around. The truck got stuck when Brad tried to get off the main track, so he worked on digging out the tires while Kylie, Ben and I sledded.
Check out that pristine snow!

It was a steep, long run!
Brad got the truck dug out and had to back up the road to a better place for turning around. While he was gone, he encountered a guy who was really stuck. His truck was off the road in the ditch. When we finished sledding, we went back to help him. Another truck came along and with our combined truck power, we were able to get him out. (All three were Toyota 4x4s...we could have made a Toyota commercial!) Heading back down was even more treacherous than going up, but we made it safely!
