Crazy Times In Steamboat

We took off on a weekend to Steamboat Springs. Emmaus hooked us up with a place to stay and food, a little angel hooked us up with gas money, and it was a recipe for a fun time. It was beautiful but it was snowy. I can't imagine living with that much snow all of the time. It was at least 4 feet deep, EVERYWHERE. It didn't stop us from blazing a sledding trail. The kids and the parents all had fun flying down the hill. Our only injuries were a bloody nose(Brandon), whip lash(Sidney), and sore muscles(all of us) from climbing up and down the hill.

The view from our sledding hill.

The sun didn't shine a whole lot while we were there but it didn't stop us.

The kids are ready for some fun.
These 2 were troopers.

Zach landed on his head and was still smiling.

What a rascal!

They are secretly arguing about who will be the first down the hill.

It's alot of work coming back up.
Fun Times Were Had By All Until...

The ride home. Bessy(the van who has seen better days) decided that the heater would only work on high so we were either freezing or roasting. We were mostly roasting because if we didn't keep it on the windows would fog over. After we got down the mountain Bessy decided that she wanted new rotors and our brakes started making this awful grinding noise. The Cheeks van(I don't know what it's name is) also decided that it didn't want to have power steering so there trip down the mountain was also quite the experience. I am glad that we are all home safe and sound.
