Night Sledding

We had a relaxing day up here at the cabin.  It was so pretty!  It was also warm, which didn't make for the best sledding conditions.

We spent most of the day talking, laughing, reading, playing games and eating.  Jorja has to read The Martian for school.  The entire book is filled with foul language.  Zac has been reading the book and editing it. He has replaced the bad words with random words that don't make sense, but they are going to make Jorja laugh!  Here is an example sentence: "Do you have any idea the magnitude of the noodle storm this is going to be?" she retorted.  "You don't have to face those kitten reporters every day.  I do!"  Nice!  Much better.  Once he even replaced something with Zac rules!  Haha!

Mike, Stockton, Preston, several cousins and I went night sledding. The snow was perfect for this!  So fast and a bit scary.  I drove the 4 wheeler with tracks after awhile so Mike could sled with Preston.  I was able to turn the thing, so pretty excited about that.  Mike and Preston did several penguin races.  Preston lays on Mike's back.  I can't believe they were brave enough to do that going as fast as they were in the dark. There is a ton of snow on the hill, but no snow on the bottom because they have plowed the road.  There is a giant drop before the bottom, so we were trying to stop right before we got there.  Mike would be going super fast with his penguin race and would grab this pole right before the bottom and whip them both around.  I'm glad no one got hurt!  It was a lot of fun though.

Heather and Aubrey got here late tonight.  I had already gone to bed before they arrived.  Aubrey had a volleyball tournament in Lehi today. She is 10 years old and is playing on a 12 year old team.  The 12 year old team was playing 13 year old teams.  They won the entire tournament. Wow!  I'm going to have to go see her play one day, I think that would be so much fun!  I am glad they got here safely. Tomorrow's going to be great!
