Visit to Flagstaff










Bill had a great idea to go see the fresh snow a week ago in Flagstaff. It isn't a long ride but for Ben it was way too long. He was the typical "are we there yet?" kiddo. When we first saw a little snow out the window Ben and Matthew was ready to stop and play in the dusting of snow. Our first stop for lunch was beautiful at Strombolis. The trees were filled with snow still and there were icicles everywhere. This wasn't anything new to me but Bill and the boys were just excited to see how big they were and how many there were.




We then headed to beautiful Lake Mary and first showed the kiddos once again how to sled down the hill. After one trip down the hill, Matthew was all about it. Everytime he got to the bottom he would trek back up the hill as fast as he could to go again. We also built the cutest snowman ever, which was Bill's and the boy's first one ever!! This was just so foreign to me but I guess when you have no snow for miles, it is normal for these desert boys. After some snowball fights, we were headed home finally. Thank you daddy for the great idea, we had so much fun.
