The morning of Ryan's birthday was spent packing up for the day's events. So instead of a bed gift, he got a morning gift, which was a Ninjago long sleeve t-shirt (that he has nearly out grown already).
For his birthday we loaded up the our car and the Baron's loaded up theirs and we headed for the mountains.
It snowed on and off all day. Macey had been watching a lot of winter shows and had an agenda for her snow experiences.
1. We will make snow angels.
Ryan was thrilled! He was barely dressed before he jumped out and ran to a clean patch of snow.
This is up in the mountains in Flagstaff. It is operated as a sledding area and maintained by the state, (or more likely, by some 3rd party, because in AZ everyone profits when the government needs something done!)
Here is Kirsten, Macey and Coby.
This is our whole crew, minus me. Left in the blue jacket is Coby, Kirsten, (stranger), Mark holding the red sleigh, in front of Mark is Ryan kneeling, Trey with the blue sleigh, Dan and Macey are about to go down sitting at the top and I'm not sure where Alex is. Maybe he had already come down.
2. We will go sledding
3. We will catch snowflakes on our tongues.
We left the 'mountain' and headed to the city. We went to a large football practice field for sledding and play.
Mark going head first.
When the snow was really coming down I wanted pictures. Mark and Trey. Kirsten and Coby were huddling in the truck during the snowing.
Happy Birthday, kiddo. Happy? I think so!
The boys built some forts on the bleachers.
Ryan thrilled to be in the snow.
4. We will build a snowman. His name is Frosty.
Here is everyone playing on the bleachers.
5. We will have a snow ball fight. Macey and Mark trading snow balls.
Mom and Macey playing in the snow. Macey thought this was hilarious. I didn't have on a snow bib, so I didn't think this was too great.
But look at that happy face.
The boys trekked in the snow across the whole field. They were wiped out by the time we finished.
Isn't this a nice picture? Thank you for letting us camp out with you for a week and for joining us in the snow.
