fun on the lemmon

For our last few days of Christmas break we decided to take the kids to Mtn. Lemmon, just 2 hrs up the road. It was so much fun. We got ourselves a hotel, which turned out to be only 45 minutes from our home. IT was nice to drive to the opposite side of town and then jump out to your room...instead of driving for 8 or 9 hours and then finally getting there.

We unpacked the car and then headed up another hr to the top of the mtn. The drive was so beautiful and just so enjoyable to be in the cooler weather with the windows open.

There is this cute little town, at the top, called Summerhaven that we stopped at first. We found this tiny little slope and tried to make sense of the run....waiting in a small line for an even smaller sledding run put us back in the car to find another spot. But it was fun to watch all these people come together and help one another. The run stopped about 15 ft from the main rd...so there was this guy that would stand there and catch all the people from sliding right into on coming traffic. It was hiliarious.

We drove for another 10 minutes to find a perfect spot...a little packed with people...but so much fun.
