Snow, Snow and More Snow

Seeing as we don't get much snow here in Yokosuka, we decided to go up to the land of snow,Nagano for skiing with the cousins. We also took Mattie's friend Mac Allen with us.

We saw some Monkeys with the snow....

 This is the tube that went down the hill in front of the chair lift. It was a very exciting moment!

Porter sledding down the bunny hill. Porter (4) decided that he too could go on the lift, so ignoring the Japanese lift operators warnings he went up the lift and down on the sled. :)
