Abby has been learning about clouds at school and when we got the the highest point on our snowmobile trip (12,000 feet) we were up with the clouds we couldn't even see the Continental Divide until we dropped a bit lower.
The sun was gone and the snow was coming down on and off. We had dressed in our ski gear but the guides suggested, since we were from Houston, to go ahead and put snowsuits on. We looked and felt like marshmallows! And before we left David and I were starting to sweat like pigs! Fortunately, that didn't last too long.
Olivia got to ride with the guide, so she had an extra fun ride!
At one point the girls got to ride on little snowmobiles but only round and round a track.....they wanted to take off on the trail, but they loved having control for a little while. I was impressed Emily could actually drive it and stay on course! They loved it.

Emily in the tan and Abby behind her.
David had Emily on his snowmobile and she kept dosing off! It was funny, the guide told him that would happen with little ones her age. How you drive and try to hold on to a sleeping kid....I don't know how David did it!
We stopped on the way down for some yummy hot chocolate, that Emily gulped down before any of us had finished!
Before we knew it our tour was over....and it was time to get out of the marshmallow clothes....but all the girls wanted to do was play in the mounds and mounds of snow everywhere!
