Snow day

Last week we had a few days of bad weather that kept the kids out of school.  We got approximately 3 (?) inches of snow.  It's been our most significant snowfall in some time.  Jeff got the kids sleds two Winters ago and so far they hadn't had a chance to use them.  Ian and Sam were very happy to see the snow fall and even happier that school had been cancelled.  From Monday to Wednesday morning (which resulted in a 2 hour delay) it was me and the kids 24/7.  Jeff made it to work each day without any problems.

On Tuesday, once the roads were clear and drivable, I packed up the sleds and kids.  We made our way to this really cool hill at a local middle school.  When we first arrived the ground had a nice covering of snow. By the end of our time sledding, the kids were a bit of a muddy mess.  The temps started rising and everything was melting quickly.

Ian and Sam had so much fun!  

I had visions of having to trail behind Sam and carry her sled back up the hill each time she went down.  Not once did this have to happen.  She not only carried her sled back up, but she ran doing it each time too.  It was so great only being the photographer.  For over 1.5 hours, the kids were on a continual loop going again and again and again.

 

 

Ian and Sam can't wait for the opportunity to go sledding again.
