Burrrrr!!

It is seriously freezing cold here!  The first day we woke up it was a big 5 degrees outside!  This cold weather isn't stopping us though.  We have been sledding, getting sled rides behind the quad and playing fun games in the snow.  I can't imagine having to dress my kids for the snow everyday in the winter, it is quite the ordeal!! Hope you are all enjoying some cold weather fun with your families too!!
The kids getting ready for sledding behind the quad.
Hunter 7, Brody 6 1/2, Case 4 1/2, Katlyn 4 1/2, Ledger 2 1/2
And their off! I found this fun game on my friend Sara's blog where you freeze colored water in ice cube trays and then hide the ice cubes in the snow.  The kids loved finding the colorful ice! It was like Easter in the winter!! 
Brody found some colorful ice cubes in the frozen flowers!
Counting the ice cubes.  23 total!
Case had a hard time picking up the ice cubes with his gloves on!  Not only that but the snow is so deep it's hard to walk!!
Ledger can only handle a few minutes of the cold before he is ready to
 head in to the warm cabin!
Jim and Ledger drove the quad while the others slid behind it!
Here they are!  Sled rides behind the quad are the best!!
Bye little snow kids!!

What a cool idea!! I'm sure the kids loved it! I will have to remember that one for when my boys get older and we are up in the freezing cold of Utah!
