Well, mainly, because how many places give you snow for sledding, skiing, snowboarding and... 80 degree weather for the beach in JANUARY! We have already had so much fun in 2009 and this is how it started...
On New Year's Eve, we decided to take the kids sledding with the McDonald family, so we drove to Mountain High which is about an hour and a half away. We stopped at the local gas station to pick up some sleds since they don't sell them in HB and up the mountain we went... then we saw some people in the distant off to the left and thought we would see what they were doing. So... here are the pictures from our adventure. The video is the best...
This is the hill we found...Can you see how fast they were going by Hannah's hair?
Our two little cuties... they are trouble together!
This is Jack hanging on for dear life!

First, is Patrick and Hannah, then Jack, then Brandon (the bump at the end just about broke our tailbones)
Then a couple weeks later... the weather changed to 80 degrees (sometimes hotter) and we went to the beach. So fun...
