Sledding at Hatcher's Pass

Kenny sure got a good work out hauling kids up the hill!

Found this car recently burned at one of the pull-offs when we got out to take a picture. It still smelled like it was burning so it must have been very recent.

Saturday, March 8th we went out to Wasilla again to hang out with some friends--several of Kenny's old work buddies from URS. We met at the Stafford's and all had lunch together. There was a new family (Jeremy and Becky and 3 kids), they just moved here from Houston 2 weeks ago--I could really sympathize with them :). Another single guy (Ira) who recently moved here also from Houston. Tim was there, but Christina and their daughter were gone visiting family so he was alone too. It is so fun to get together with a bunch of great families whom we share a lot in common with. We've all moved around a lot, and most of us have lived in the same places too, because they all worked for the same company. We had a good BBQ lunch and chatted, then went up to Hatcher's Pass to go sledding. I have been there once in the summer, once in the fall, and now once in the winter. It is just gorgeous year-round! The mountain views are just stunning. It was pretty busy with lots of people on snow machines, skiing, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, and sledding. The hill was huge!! It took a long time to get up, and then you got lots of snow blown harshly in your face on the way down. But it was a beautiful sunny day. And despite Kelsey's complete inability to walk for more than few steps without falling with such deep snow, we still had a great time together! 

Towards the end we had an accident. Not as in a physical injury, but one daughter wet her pants. Then when we got home and I put the girls in the tub and went downstairs to clean up, when Kelsey poops in the tub!  Never a dull, or clean, moment with little kids! :)
