BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!

Our beautiful autumn weather has turned on us like an icy... icicle! We have not enjoyed this change because we are still playing a soccer tournament. The game last night was FREEZING!! We were all in winter clothes, with beanies and gloves. BRRRR!!!
Little C shows us his surprise at how cold it was.
 The game went well. The boys played hard and as a team. The score was a tie in the end so we ended up in a double shootout. We lost by one. It was a bummer, but frankly we were glad to get home and warm up!

 Since our season ended with this game, we are going to have a team pizza party at my house next week. They have been a fun bunch of boys to have on our team. It was busy, but I did enjoy it- it's soccer, after all!
A boy and his skis-- is there any closer bond?
Speaking of cold weather... since winter is just around the corner (I have very mixed feelings about that),  A decided he needed some new ski gear. He got a fantastic deal on the internet and his skis came today. I love how skis don't match these days. So fun! He is super excited for snow. I can wait.

CHILLY SLEDDING

We gathered the family together and went sledding yesterday. It was VERY cold (high of about 6˚), but we were all sick of being inside.

The canyon road wasn't any good, so we went over the the Gordon farm on Bald Mountain and slid down the road there.
Grandpa G fills in the rocky places.
Because this is a Gordon activity, we had to excavate our sledding track. Grandpa G went and grabbed his little Kabota and packed down the not-so-good places for us. It was awesome! I love that family!!

It was evening and never really did warm up during the day, so we all had freezing toesies pretty darn quick. If you kept sledding and hiking back up, it wasn't too bad, but eventually the cold set in no matter what you did.

It was fun to get out there and have a good time together, but it was also nice to come home and get warmed up again too!
