Sledding at Steamboat Gulch

We decided to venture out sledding with some friends for President's Day.  We packed up and headed up to Idaho City to check out Steamboat Gulch; it ended up being well worth our $5.  It snowed on us the entire time and it luckily wasn't a heavy wet snow that soaked us, just big snowflakes that were amazing to watch as they fell.  The kids, including the babies, lasted for a couple of hours and it was so much fun!!!


Alice, Sophie, Allie, and Macy-All the girls enjoyed getting pulled from the parking lot to the sledding hills


Sophie bundled up enjoying the snowflakes


Blake and Allie were off....what a great workout and way to get to the top of the hill


Allie jumped on her saucer and hit the hill tubing.  It was a great hill for the kids; there were a number of bumps and the kids could get going fast, but no one ended up hurt


Blake and Allie trying some crazy moves to get down the mountain


Allie was all smiles


Sophie took a few runs with both Blake and I.  She was going without a nap for the day and exhausted, so she wasn't enthusiastically asking for more at the end of the run


Allie brought her good friend Macy up to the hill with us


Allie and Hannah shared a sled and hit a few runs together.  I love Allie's face; it was snowing so hard, you pretty much had to close your eyes as you flew through the wind


We tried a run as a family and then that was the end of that....not to comfy on the long sled down a bumpy mountain


Allie wasn't thrilled we were stopping on our way back to the car to grab some pictures


A bribe for some cocoa for a smile....What a fun day on the mountain, we will be back!
