Every year we take Benjamin up into the mountains to experience snow for a day. This year was extra fun as we spent just over 24hrs there and got to spend it with good friends of ours. The 1st night we enjoyed making smores: Nathan is reading Ben their bedtime story. The boys got to share a pull out couch for bedtime and were just ecstatic - and surprisingly didn't take THAT long to fall asleep!All ready to go sledding! We had to drive just a little outside of Greer for the great sled hill. However, thanks to the kids getting up nice & early we were there by 9am when it was completely empty! 2hrs later there were so many people we had to wait in line to go down the various 'runs' but that was fine as we were all pretty wiped by then and didn't want to do the climb back up!

After spending the morning tubing we returned to the cabin for lunch and then we spent the afternoon going down the tiny hill behind the cabin (perfect size for the kids as they didn't need any adult assistance) , having snow ball fights and building snowmen. The trip occurred right on Ben's birthday so we brought a cake and a couple gifts and celebrated it there with him. Nathan made it extra special as he kept letting Benjamin go first (down the hill in the back, saying prayer at mealtime) since it was his birthday. We had a very happy birthday boy ALL day!After a day of sledding outside in the cold, the boys ended the day with sledding inside on the stairs. Mae is not in any of these pictures as she stayed back in warm Gilbert with Grandma :)
