Youth Snow Trip

We met at the church parking lot at 8 am & made our way to the land of snow in Carson, Wa.  It took us a while to get to our final destination.  One of our vehicles got stuck.  Ehhhh!  I promised I wouldn't take pictures of the unnamed stuck Suburban.  And no it was not mine.  So while we waited for the very competent men to do their thing & get the car out of the ditch, some of the kids played.

There were snowballs thrown & a retaining wall built (to keep the boys out) & even a burial of a poor YW.

 This is "J" & I LOVE that he wore a pink hat, truly!  I told him it says "I'm secure in my manhood."  He didn't want me to take a pic of him & after I did I got a snowball in the shoulder for it.

 These are the party poopers.  Yes girls that is what I called you!  It was too cold to venture outside, they said.

Here is "A" who jumped in the truck to get toasty warm.

We eventually made it to a BEAUTIFUL remote location with a fabulous hill to sled down.

Me, "B", "D" & "M"

A sled had been built by Bishop, the YM Pres. & one of the Priests.  It slid down that hill like it had been oiled up.  And this is how they looked at the end....like a bunch of white haired old men!

 I love this pic & I love that "D" loved it too!

 To the right is the big hill & to the left is the tents, fire pit, lunch & a bucket with a toilet lid (so I was told)

It was gorgeous there & I couldn't help but snap off a few pictures of the surroundings.  It was especially beautiful once the sun came out.  The sky was really that blue.  I didn't "Dr." any of these pics.  Only because I don't really know how.

Yay for youth snow trips!  I'm looking forward to the one in February!
