Non-Surprises, Snow & Mud

Last night we drove down to Show Low to surprise my mom for her birthday. Actually we would all like to think it was a surprise, but somehow my mom knows everything. Nothing can be kept from her. She hates surprises as it is so we don't plan many for her and when we do, they never work out. Poor us! Oh well, it's so fun to be here anyway.

 We spent the day on the 4-wheelers in the snow and mud.

Kylie loved the snow! She thought it was so fun to play in. She threw snowballs and made snow angels. Somebody had suggested we make a snowman, but Kylie immediately shot that idea down because we didn't have a carrot and you can't make a snowman without a carrot!

I think she loved "skateboarding" the best. Good sledding hills were few and far between, but we found a little spot with not too many trees and went down a few times. Kylie hitched a ride down anytime she could and even thought she would like to go down by herself until we got her all seated on the sled ready to go then she realized that would be way too scary.

Mud flew everywhere while riding the 4-wheelers. We were covered in it. I think for about every 5 minutes we were on them it took the boys about an hour to clean up. Everything was a mess. We had a great time though. That's definately one of our favorite things to do up here.
