Christy’s Snow Park 2

So in the midst of “Arctic Blast 2008″ we decided to get stranded with my family up at my sisters house. We came over on Saturday morning, and as the snow piled up we decided to have some fun. Their deck is a few feet up from the ground, so we piled the snow up, [...]

I Missed The Competition 0
