Snowmobile for Christmas



This is what Mark got himself for Christmas this year. This summer he bought and sold for profit a few motorcycles. At the end of the season he still had one left. He found a guy on craigslist that wanted to trade a snowmobile for a motorcycle. Mark made sure it would be a good trade and then made the trade.


The boys LOVE the SNOWMOBILE. They just can not get enough. On New Years weekend we took the sleds up to the mountains. We have two because Mark made a deal with his friend Karl. Karl can store his sled in our backyard and ride our sled when ever he wants and we can use his trailer and snowmobile when we want. Pretty good deal.
When we went on this trip it felt like everything was going wrong. Karl;s sled would not start at first. Once we got it going with some help and some time Mark went to start his up again and the pull cord broke clean off! We were afraid our luck may be running out so we took a quick ride. On the way back Mark and Bear raced ahead of me and Oot. Suddenly my sled died. I tried a few times to start it and was unsuccessful. So I decided we better make the best of it while we waited for Mark to return.

So we built this snowman. It was pretty fun. We used some branches to make the face. I was told that he was not frosty because he did not have a button nose or a hat. When dad finally returned to rescue us we found that Oot had hit the kill switch. Ooops.


Next we looked for a hill to take the tube on. Bear was determined to climb through the snow by himself. He did not want me to hold him. The poor kid could hardly walk in the deep snow, but it was sure fun watching him try.


The tubing was fun but the climb was steep. A few weeks after this trip we went to another area with a big empty hill and Karl's family. The mom's and kids would slide down the hill on the sleds and tubes and the dad's would some to the bottom tow back our sleds and give us a ride to the top of the hill again. I was a blast!!! Certainly the way to go if you ask me.
