SNOW DAY AT YUBA GAP SNO-PARK

Or, the "Gordon/Simmons" photo shoot...

On Saturday, Family Ministry headed up to the Yuba Gap Sno-Park for a little fun in the snow. Unfortunately, at the last minute, many families had to cancel their plans to join us due to schedules conflicts, sick children or concerns about the weather. We were sorry that more families couldn't make it, but we do hope that all sick kiddos (and husbands) are on the mend.


Fear not, the Gordon's and the Simmon's had a GREAT time!
Snacks packed, snow sleds and discs in hand & and warm clothing...we couldn't have expected a better day. There were plenty of sleds, discs and tubes to go around. The kids had a blast finding all kinds of ways to come down the hill. They searched new runs, higher ones and faster ones. Runs for the big kids and runs for the little ones too. Snowball fights, snow angels, snowman making and even a face for the tree! I am not sure how many times they went up and down the hill but suffice it to say, it was a quiet ride home in the car and early to bed that night for my family.
We enjoyed the nicest weather (including a beautiful snowfall) and many slope sledding hours without getting much of chili at all. Most of all, we had a great time just being together, watching the kids smiling faces and hearing their genuine laughter. It was nice visiting time with one another and know that this is just the first of many more Family Ministry trips to the snow!
Good times, Good friends and Good families!
