Winter Fun!

I have wanted to take Carter sledding for a long time and I thought it was finally time....although we've been having some really cold days lately there really hasn't been any new snow...I guess I should have thought about that before getting all ready to go!
Scott and I got all bundled up, of course Carter was in his "winter snow suit" and we got the sleds, drove to Romer Park in the Terrace and found "ice snow!" We're talking hard, slippery and not that much fun. It wasn't exactly the sledding I pictured! Carter and I just hung out in our sled...with "Mr. Elephant" of course....and enjoyed the show Scott put on for us!
Scott was such a trooper though! He wanted to show Carter what it was all about, even though Carter and I just sat in our blow-up converted to a sled. It was really rocking, bumpy and hard but he pulled through and gave us a great time! What a great dad!
Today Carter and I went with the Morris' Clan to Salt Lake...and where else would you go than The Gateway right? It was so much fun! The cousins were "back-seat buddies" and had such a fun time sharing toys, candy and treats on the way down there. Here's the gang at their favorite Candy Shoppe getting a couple treats.
The boys got free suckers from the candy shop and we headed down to the fountain for them to check out...here are the cousins chillin' with their suckers while checking out the water show!
It was such a fun time, we were so busy and got a lot done and this is what I found in the backseat when we got back home!
Poor little guy was completely tuckered out! Nothing like falling asleep after just finishing some treats right?!? So funny!
