Sledding in Flagstaff

I can’t believe it!  After all these years of talking about taking the kids to Flagstaff to see the snow, we finally did it!  We weren’t even sure until Friday afternoon if the snow park would still have snow after all the rain, but thankfully it did.  We left at 7:45am and got there in three hours, even with our rest area stop.  We put on all of our snow clothes and went to check in at Flagstaff Snow Park.  

Ready for some fun in the snow!

We started out on the orange “bunny” hill with Jonathan and he loved it.  Next, we went on the blue sled run, which was so fun!  

We went to the black run next, but Andrew started feeling sick and so he and Michael went to the picnic tables by the food trucks to get something to drink and rest.  I think it was a combination of him getting overheated in his snow clothes, and also being dehydrated.  After we all finished on the black run, we went over to sit with Michael and Andrew and have a snack.  Thankfully, Andrew started feeling better so we found a spot with some fresh snow so the kids could play around a little bit.  Jonathan wanted to make snow angels and a snowman, and Daniel was so excited to have a snowball fight.  The snow was way too powdery to make a snowman, but they had a great time anyway.  

By this time it was 1pm, and the people who were just there for the morning had to leave so we went sledding some more.  This time we went on the green run, and there was no line at all so we went on it twice.  The second time we wanted to all go down together, but we could only do three at a time. 

After that, we stopped at the orange hill one more time and then found another spot for the kids to play.  Then we headed back to the car to change out of all our snow clothes and head home.  We picked up food on the way home, and we were home by about 5:30pm.  It was a great day, but I am so tired!!!
