Snow Day

So it is definatly getting closer to winter in these parts! Its chilly most days, and there is tons of snow on the gorgeous Italian Alps right outside!

We went up there this past weekend to play in the snow. It was lots of fun, minus the driving up there. Now I am not fond of winding, tiny roads, that don't have a ton of room for two way traffic, and on the side of a mountain in the first place, but when there is so much fog and you can't see the car 20 yards in front of you.....it gets creepy! I should have taken my camera out to take a picture of how bad it was, but my hand was hanging on pretty tight in to the door handle and wasn't letting go. Thank goodness Nick didn't freak out too. We would have been in trouble then! I'm just glad I didn't drive up there!

When we got to the town of Piancovallo, where the ski slopes and sledding hills are, it was still so very foggy that we couldn't tell where the park was! Finally our friends that were with us, Holly & Josh found the sled park, but unfortunatly before that, we lost them in the fog! We went in circles a couple times before finding them! Then of course the fog just disappeared! So we played in the snow with the dogs and our new friends for a couple hours.

Nick brought our sleds and tried to get the dogs to pull him, they aren't the best sled dogs out there, but they also had 2 other dogs to distract them from their work.

They pulled him one way, but it was slighly down a little incline. The way back was not as fun. Lol. It was fun to watch though! The first time Nick tried he he forgot to hold the rope, and this is what happened;They ran full speed hooked together! Thank goodness they didn't round a tree or anything! That would not have been pretty! Ironically they ran very well tied so closely together!

Well, by the time we left the fog rolled back in, and of course was on those lovely, winding, not much room for two cars roads. I will leave you with some of my favorite pictures from the day. I definatly can't wait to go back and play in the snow. Oh by the way I couldn't do much, cause my snow pants, are just a bit too snug! Haha. I have to find some of those bibs with no waste band so I can still have fun and not get wet! Have a good week everyone!I love this picture!

We never figured out what they were so interested in, but Kodi was in that hole the rest of the time up there!

They played and ran so much, they were out cold that evening!

He is on a mission!

See the fog rolling back in!
