Today we (Allison and Dan) took a quick 2-hour drive up to nearby ski resort Roccaraso to go sledding with our good friend Chris and his son Oliver (or "Olibur" as Allison would say). The drive was incredibly scenic, with quaint Italian villages and sweeping alpine landscapes. At the base of the mountain was a great little cafe, where we stopped and had pastries and hot chocolate (more like chocolate soup it was so thick).
Once we got up the mountain, Allison and I spent time making a gigantic snowman while Chris and Oliver sledded down the hills. After a great meal of fresh pasta and lasagna in the restaurant at the base of the lifts we had an epic snow ball fight. Needless to say, 10 minutes into the drive back home Allison was in a deep sleep.

snowcapped mountains in Italy look much prettier than the prairie in South Dakota during a blizzard! Wish we were there with you!
