We took a day trip up to Mt. Lemmon, Arizona Friday to do a little sledding. We had a great time and couldn't believe the change of scenery between 4000 and 8000 feet. The foothills of Mt. Lemmon lie on the far east side of Tucson, and are covered with saguaro cactus. Yet, just 15 miles up a windy road are beautiful pine trees. We stopped several places on the road for pictures and just to enjoy the beauty around us.
Grace hardly had time to get her coat and mittens on before she was off...
This was a little "hill" right behind where we parked.
When we had Tristan all suited up, he climbed up the hill to join his sister.
Then we all moved over to the "big hill". One thing you all have to understand is that I love sledding, but as I told my husband, I much prefer to sled at White Sands... there's no trees!! I think one of the reasons I don't have a great desire to learn to ski is because I have this fear of not being able to turn or stop and running into a tree - no matter how far away it might be (unreasonable, I know). Despite my fear, we ended up enjoying ourselves immensely...
Until David
hit a big "mogul" and bounced Tristan right off of the sled...
Then a snowball fight ensued.
I had to add these two photos because they're just so darned cute!
