I'm an Unschooling mom in Las Vegas, NV. I have all boys! A 14 yr old, a 7 yr old, a 1 yr old and 2 teenage stepsons.
4 of the 5 have some special need or another, and the 5th would be termed "gifted" if he was in school. They all have their own interests and abilities.
Join me as I blog about our Christ-led learning approach...things that work, things that don't, and the antics of family life!
After a weekend of lots of snow at the higher elevations, we took off for sledding fun! It's always amazing to me, living in the desert, that within 45 minutes we have a ski "resort" and snow play area!
We got up there and it was 18 degrees. Now, when I lived in NJ that wouldnt have phased me....after 8 years here, 18 is UNHEARD of!!!! Even my teen was WHINING!! It was brutal! But, there was snow!
Can you tell who was unhappy and cold? Oh, yeah, and whose boots didn't fit so they kept slipping off?
He ended up being "sent" to the car with Brian for warmth and a much needed nap!
Well, at least this one's having fun! Elias is in the red.
Well, all in all, it was a cold but fun time! Just glad we don't have to live with all the slush and scraping windshields, and COLD anymore!! Viva Las Vegas!
That's cool that you got to play in the snow! I was born and raised in Las Vegas. I have been in Colorado for the last 12.5 years and I SOOO had to get used to the biting cold...brrrr. So I understand the hot nights and no snow (except the mountains). I think I remember seeing snow twice in my life there.
Where about do you live in Vegas? My kids wanna move back there, but after being raised there, it would have to be a God thing.
Oh that looks like lots of fun. 8* is a little cold though. lol We finally got our 1st good snow of the season (4") and son and I went out building snowmen and balls. So fun. Thanks for dropping by my blog and leaving a comment. Have a great day.
