SNOW PLAY FUN!!!

Bret Haven and family came over this afternoon for tubing in the
field across from our house. Here Nathan and Ben share the tube
with Bryce and Coen...

Here is the whole Haven family including Bret, Jen and little
Renee. Renee didn't want to ride - but we finally coaxed her
to let us take a family picture. Mark even turned the
4-wheeler off so Renee knew they weren't going anywhere...

We watched the boys have fun on the tube.... but Renee
never agreed to take a ride herself. Maybe next year??

Grandma Shari even got to take two rides with Nathan

and Ben... oh what FUN!!!! Although I think Ben was

just as content riding the 4-wheeler with his Dad than

being on the tube and getting snow in his face...

Jen took a ride with Coen and Bryce..

Mark and Ben enjoyed giving the rides... later Mark took

a couple of rides himself and tried standing up for awhile

"until" he fell off. I was not close enough to get a picture,

I wish I had video of that one...

The snow was very DEEP and WET so it wasn't as

easy to plow through as you might think. In the

picture below you can see Mark was throwing

snow pretty good!!!

Here Mark and Bret took Ben and Coen for a ride...

Mark and Ben pulled the other boys on the tube...

One time I was pulling Ben on a saucer and he fell

off 30 yards into the ride. He wasn't very happy

even though he was the one that WANTED to

RIDE. I brushed the snow off of him and found

he even had snow packed in one ear.. That

must have been why he was crying. Sorry Andrea!

Renee didn't ride the tube - so she took a winter ride

on the tire swing. Brrrrrrr!!

At the end of our tube rides Nathan got out his dump

truck to haul some snow. It doesn't matter to Nathan

if it's dirt or snow as long as he can load it up and move

it out....

A final picture of the 4-wheeler Mark was driving and

the snow it was throwing... Mark was in his element!!
