Troy and Jason have finals this week, and today they got out at 11:15. They've been planning with some friends a trip to the snow. As usual, I'm the designated driver. David taught Jason how to put the chains on, they got snowboards and boogie boards to slide down the hills on, and off we went. And wouldn't you know it, I forgot my camera. My cell phone didn't do too bad, though.
How many teenagers does it take to put on snow chains? 5 - Jason to do it and 4 more to watch!!! At least I didn't have to do it. 
The boys remembered that for Troy's 8th birthday party we went to the Lagunas to play in the snow. We went to a campground up there, and they wanted to go there again and play on the same hills. They didn't believe me it was a long drive, and after awhile, they decided to go back and turn around to where all the other people were playing. On the way, they saw this big hill on the side of the highway. Then they realized they could catch a jump off of this huge boulder. This is Troy landing after he went off the boulder. The end of the hill is the highway. Luckily there weren't very many people up as far as we were.
Here is one of the boys taking a tumble.
There's the hill and the highway. It was snowing a lot!
I'm so glad there weren't any cars coming!

That's crazy! I don't see the highway at all - are you sure you were supposed to be up there? It didn't even look like they had plowed it yet. What fun!!! Nothing like fresh powder....
Oh yeah, they plowed. In fact, while the boys were getting their snow clothes on, the plow drove right by us and sprayed them. They were pretty bummed about that!
Looks like everyone had a great time. I miss driving up to the mountains to see the snow. Your cell phone took pretty good photos.
How fun is that!!! That's the great thing about SD - you can get to snow pretty quick!
Looks like lots of fun.. I wish we had the snow that close.
