Keeping tradition and in celebration of Ib's milestone (4oth!) birthday, we loaded up the car and spent a nice weekend in Pinetop, AZ. They didn't have a lot of snow, but Ib got a great day in on the mountain and Knox and I had some fun of our own.
While Ib was snowboarding, we went out in search of a sled for Knox's first sledriding experience.
He thought the snow was pretty neat and wasn't at all hesitant to jump right in.
Sunday morning we took our time getting up and ready. We stayed in this same room a few years ago.
Luckily, Ib's friend Chaz was also at the mountain that day so they boarded together. I took some time to stop and take photos while Knox napped in the car on the way to pick him up at the end of the day. Then we enjoyed dinner with Chaz at the Greer Lodge before heading back to our own lodge for the night.

Once Knox was all bundled up we headed out to a small hill that the nice lady at Walmart told me the kids use for sledding.
Two shirts, two pairs of pants and two pairs of socks later...he was probably over dressed for the weather, but we figured better safe than sorry!
We took about 6 runs down the hill and he was over it. But he did seem to have fun.
That went well until his hands got too cold. He wouldn't keep his mittens on; Believe me, I tried!
Before we left, we turned him loose in the snow. He was shoveling it into his mouth with both hands. He couldn't eat enough snow!

At least he could put his arms down in his snow clothes! He is one cute bundle. Happy 40th brother!
