Snow much fun!!


Last weekend was the 5th(?) annual Coleman family snow trip. For our family it was actually the first annual, since this is the first year we've been able to attend. What a great time we had.
The kids really enjoyed hanging out with Aunts, Uncles & Cousins for the weekend. There was a lot for us to do...we ate, played games, ate, did puzzles, ate, watched movies, ate, and went sledding. Did I mention that we ate. A lot. All weekend long.

Unfortunately Jacob was sick when it was time to go, so I stayed behind an extra day with him, hoping he would get better quickly. Sadly, this meant that he wasn't able to go on the ski trip that he & Mike had been planning. Luckily, Kiernan was able to go, and she loved it. She did a great job & hardly complained.

The Uncles (and Aunt Tina) did a fabulous job building some great sled runs right behind the cabin. We had a small one for the toddlers, and a long spinny, twisty one for big kids and adults, which we called The Luge! So Fun. Oh yeah...then there was the one that Mike & Scott made that went under the snow. That's right, it was a sled run through a tunnel! No joke, check out the pictures to see.

Jake stayed sick until nearly the last day, which made him sad, but he's already looking forward to next year. Here are a few scenes from the trip...enjoy:

Some of the Coleman gang out for a wild ride


Kiernan's first ski trip...just her and Daddy.

What a fast learner

Looking good, while having fun.


Go, Go Kiernan!!

That is an awesome tunnel! That had to have taken forever to dig!

What a fun time with the family!! My boys would love to go to the snow and do that. So far the only experience we have had with the snow is the once every other year that we a sprinkling of the white stuff and is melted before noon. :(
p.s. I love your family picture.

Looking at your pictures makes me miss the snow. It looks like you guys had a great time. Channing loved watching the video of Kiernan. She is such a cutie!
